About

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice (DEIJ) Action Team led the development of a plan to implement the recommendations of the Chesapeake Bay Program DEIJ Strategy and provided recommendations to further incorporate environmental justice leaders and underrepresented groups into partnership decision-making and implementation activities. The Chesapeake Executive Council signed a directive in August 2020 reaffirming their commitment to DEIJ in all partnership work. A complementary action statement was signed by the Principals’ Staff Committee and the DEIJ Action Team was formed as an initiative to oversee the implementation of the action statement. Members of the DEIJ Action Team were selected from across the partnership to reflect the diversity of the people living within the Chesapeake Bay watershed and included members knowledgeable about environmental justice matters. The DEIJ Action Team sought input and feedback from underrepresented communities on all aspects of its work.

Following the completion of the Chesapeake Bay Program's DEIJ Strategy Implementation Plan, the DEIJ Action Team was sunsetted.
