Equity Advisory Committee

The Equity Advisory Committee is a dynamic group of individuals committed to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in our region. The committee advises the Met Council on various policy issues and gives their unique perspectives to help ensure a wide variety of voices are represented when decisions are made for the region.

The Equity Advisory Committee was established in October 2015 to provide advice regarding policy issues and bring perspective to work being developed by the Met Council. Committee members have varying backgrounds spanning geography, race, gender, age, ability, orientation, and experiences that bring multiple unique voices to the table. The committee is a non-voting body.
