The Equity Advisory Council (EAC) advises OERJ in its work and how to advance equity in the City of Chicago. In addition to providing input to our work, EAC is an extension of our efforts to build and strengthen partnerships with community organizations. The Council is comprised of thought leaders representing different communities and perspectives, offering us a holistic and strategic approach to our everyday work. There are currently 18 members.
OERJ and EAC convene on a quarterly basis to discuss existing work and recommendations. These convenings are open to the public with the opportunity for public comment.
