Our Commitment:
LCB is committed to addressing the systemic inequities that have historically marginalized certain groups of people. We commit to actively dismantle these barriers, in particular in relation to access to opportunities within the industry. We commit to ensuring fair access to landscape contractor licensure and consumer protections. We foster a welcoming and respectful workplace and service-oriented space where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.
Our Actions:
- ·Diverse agency, Board, and partnerships: The Board leads with a sense of inclusion. We strive for a staff, board of directors, and community partnerships that reflect the richness of the communities we serve, helping to ensure all voices and perspectives are heard and inform our work. We build a team that reflects the communities we serve, promoting equitable access to licensure and consumer protection. We collaborate with diverse partners to ensure our services reach everyone in Oregon. We recognize Native tribe's water and salmon rights in Oregon and the industry impacts on both.
