The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, created in
January of 2023, was convened as part of CWDA’s comprehensive
plan for DEI, to focus on this important area for policy,
practice and organizational development for the Association.
The 20 small counties meet regularly to discuss policy
and financial issues as they affect operations in small counties.
Members share knowledge and experience with each other on issues
of mutual concern. In addition, the committee meets with state
staff to understand and discuss the impact of upcoming changes on
smaller organizations. Issues that also impact the whole
association are brought to the Board of Directors for discussion.
