SA Town Council To Interview Racial Equity Committee Applicants

SAN ANSELMO, CA — Less than four months after forming committee to examine issues of racial equity and social justice, the town of San Anselmo later this week will interview applicants for key roles in the process in a public forum.

The Town Council will hold a special meeting Thursday to interview applicants for the Racial Equity Ad Hoc Committee.

The meeting will be held virtually from 6 to 8 p.m.

“The purpose of the committee is to ensure that Town policies, programs, procedures and laws are not racist, are free of implicit biases, and that laws are fair and equitably enforced,” town officials said in a statement announcing the meeting.

“The committee will also explore additional opportunities to build awareness, solutions and leadership for racial equity, social justice, systemic racial bias, and diversity for Town staff and the wider community.”

The committee will be made of up to seven volunteer community members.

Membership qualifications include being at least 16 years of age, and residing or working in, or owning a business or property in San Anselmo.

Committee members will serve one-year terms.

Of the 18 applications the town received, 11 were chosen to move forward for interviews before the Town Council.
