Take a look at the diverse demographics of our team

As a leading employer in the county with 200 employees, we are transparent around the race and gender makeup of our teams; our staff, our leadership, and our board of directors. We seek to attract, retain, nurture, and grow a diverse workforce. We also strive to be welcoming and inclusive in our policies and practices, with mindfulness on equity to ensure that people of color and people of low income are supported and have equal access to opportunities in our agency.
