Northborough DEIB committee outlines goals, subcommittees and funding questions
Summary
The committee listed near-term goals (finalize inclusive language, pick an email contact, approve an ADA compliance document in August), discussed subcommittees and raised questions about budgets and honoraria for speakers and printed materials.
Chair Mary Alexandra Molina walked through committee goals for the near term — approving inclusive language, choosing a committee email address, and securing at least one ADA compliance document in August. Members discussed forming subcommittees (awareness calendar, web/social media, program leads) and defining short-term deliverables and a longer-term "North Star" for success.
Cynthia Moore raised funding questions: "Somebody's gotta pay for that," she said, asking whether committees have budgets, should fundraise, or apply for grants. Members suggested cultural-council support, scholarship-committee fundraising and modest honoraria for speakers as options. The committee agreed to research available town resources and report back.
