Over the last 18 months, Middlebury Officials, including the Selectboard, members of the Town Administration, Middlebury Police and all other Town Departments, have worked to gain a better understanding of systemic barriers and inequities that may impact the quality of life for people in Middlebury. The process has included learning sessions, internal assessments, and most recently, a public survey that gave insight into the experiences and needs of the Middlebury Community.
The next activity of this phase is deeper community engagement through community dialogue. We wish to learn more about your experiences and suggestions for how the Town of Middlebury can improve in serving the community and what the Town should celebrate, too. Our larger goal is to inform the Town of Middlebury's Strategic Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) plan. Those who attend will also be invited to participate on the DEI steering committee to help oversee this ongoing longer-term work.
