ENGAGEMENT
We believe the diversity and inclusion found across Southern California is a valuable resource. It improves our society, fosters innovation, and enriches our personal lives. That diversity is woven into the fabric of our company with equity as a guiding principle for the projects we lead. Since inception, we’ve worked to foster transparent and equitable outreach programs that position our projects to achieve maximum public participation from a representative diverse community. Our Justice, Equity, Diversion and Inclusion (JEDI) Team thinks critically about how we engage communities and strategizes ways to:
-
Eliminate obstacles and create opportunities for the broadest possible participation
-
Address systemic inequities
-
Shape projects throughout the planning and development process with a focus on community needs and long-term benefits

Boost input from historically underrepresented populations
