The Municipal Leader Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Certificate Program is a certificate program for INDIVIDUALS; targeting city leaders, such as mayors, city managers, city council members, and senior staff.
This program is different from any other existing DE&I program because it is made specifically for municipal government. This program was created under the guidance of the GMA’s Equity and Inclusion Commission after closely analyzing and surveying local needs around DE&I and is actively overseen by the Equity and Inclusion Advisory Council, made up of 28 members representing cities throughout the state of Georgia.
This program is informed by the reality of the day-to-day within city governments, and aims to support municipal leaders in:
- Understanding & combatting institutional and systemic racism, injustice, and inequity.
- Fostering relationships by honoring and valuing individual differences
- Creating an environment of belonging for city employees and residents
