Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in Sammamish

During the City Council meeting on July 19, 2022, the Sammamish City Council approved a Resolution committing to and establishing a process to move forward with a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) program. Establishment of a Citywide DEIB program was one of the Council's highest priorities in the City’s 2022 Work Plan. More information will be posted when available.

From Republic Services
We are working to find ways to stand for inclusion, equity, and diversity with other community leaders. Our Northwest Area President Marieke Curley said it best:
In light of the recent George Floyd murder and Black Lives Matter events, I believe it is more important than ever for business, nonprofit, and government leaders to drive transformational change both internally and externally with programs, partnerships, and investments that will move us all forward to a more just society.
We continue to seek ways to meet our commitment to this work. Republic Services’ employees are proud to work for a company that has a deep, long standing commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and in our communities.
