Ogden City Council Meeting: September 13, 2016 1 JOINT RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE OGDEN DIVERSITY CHARTER COUNCIL STAFF REVIEW ACTION: Adopt joint resolution Request This joint resolution adopts the Charter for Creating an Ogden Diversity Strategy. The Ogden Diversity Charter is the result of many large and small group meetings that have been held during the past three years to establish a collaborative connection between the City of Ogden, individuals, institutions, and organizations working toward meeting the needs of our diverse communities. The Diversity Charter is intended to be a living framework to help build a more inclusive, engaged, and welcoming community that thrives on the trust, equity, and interdependency of Ogden’s diverse communities. It envisions an Ogden where everyone experiences belonging, fairness, fundamental freedoms, and human rights. Many individuals from the community are anticipated to attend the meeting to provide comment and sign the Charter, including Weber State University President Charles Wight, Ogden-Weber Tech College Vice President for Student Services Rhonda Lauritzen, and Ogden School District Assistant Superintendent Chad Carpenter.
