Dear City Council Members,
I hope this message finds you well and thriving!
As the DEI Program Manager for the County of San Luis Obispo Behavioral Health Department, I am writing
to express my enthusiastic support for the City of San Luis Obispo's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
Strategic Plan. The comprehensive approach outlined in the plan, including its ambitious pillars, is not only
commendable but essential for the ongoing growth and inclusivity of our community.
The efforts made and the processes currently underway are a testament to the city's commitment to
fostering an environment where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. This strategic plan, with its
focus on diverse community engagement, equitable communication, embedded accountability, and an
inclusive organizational culture, sets a powerful example not just for the City of San Luis Obispo but for the
entire County of San Luis Obispo.
Shooting for the stars, as the plan proposes, is precisely the mindset we need to meet the ever-evolving
needs of our communities. The pillars outlined resonate deeply with the work we do at the Behavioral Health
Department, and I am excited about the possibilities this strategic plan opens up for collaboration and mutual
support.
I look forward to the rollout of this strategic plan and am eager to see the positive changes it will bring to the
City of SLO and, by extension, to the county at large. Please know that this plan has my full support, and I am
keen to contribute in any way that can further these efforts.
Thank you for your dedication to making San Luis Obispo a place of true inclusion and belonging. I am
optimistic about what we can achieve together for our community!
Many thanks,
