Idea Exchange

About the Idea Exchange

The ILCMA Communications Committee sponsors a quarterly Idea Exchange. All Idea Exchanges are virtual, are designed for participants to learn from their peers and use breakout rooms to facilitate organic discussions.

Learning and Operationalizing Racial Equity (LORE) Pilot Program

For several years, the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and Kathleen Yang Clayton (Center of Equity, Effectiveness and Efficiency) operated the Learning and Operationalizing Racial Equity (LORE) pilot program. Participating municipalities each spent eight months studying methods by which they could move past simply defining diversity, equity and inclusion to operationalizing identifiable programs for community engagement and employee relations. Participants in this Idea Exchange will hear from five communities who graduated from the pilot program and have implemented specific programs. Learn from their experiences to help develop new tools for your community.
