As we were drafting the community equity priorities, we presented at 2 interagency meetings that had representation from over I my understanding, there's certainly over 20 city agencies.
2:22:01
Some of our larger city agencies included in that, so the health department, DOE, BYCD.
2:22:07
And so we've been able to provide city staff also the opportunity to give us feedback on the draft community equity priorities and also tell us based on their particular agency's content area, how do they feel the public is gonna respond to these equity priorities.
2:22:26
What were the recommendations they had to either shape the language, whether it's expand or maybe use other words.
2:22:35
And I would say that that was a wonderful experience.
2:22:38
We did get really great feedback.
2:22:40
We also are working across city agencies to better understand what data is available so that we can do a deep dive.
2:22:48
Into each of the equity priorities so that we can provide our commissioners with the robust information that they need.
2:22:56
And we're continuing our interagency work, you know, 1 of the benefits to having a chair and executive that's been in government is that I've had the opportunity for the past 5 years to build great relationships across city agencies.
2:23:14
All of my work in city government has focused on advancing equity and specific racial equity, whether it was working in education policy or mental health, mental health, and then also, of course, public health when I was at the health department.
2:23:29
I was able to reach out to people when I started this role and say, this is what we're working on.
2:23:36
You know, what what are some of the challenges you think I may experience and what are the ways in which we can work with your agency, and people were receptive, which was wonderful.
