Highlights
I came to learn about that once upon a time in Olmsted County there was a 21st Century Partnership of Olmsted County and its work in the early 2000's of developing a Community Strategic Plan for Diversity. There are a lot of great ideas contained in the report; some of which could address the current climate of racial and religious conflicts. I am still hoping to find a softcopy of the report. Though it's supposed to be on Olmsted County website, it is no longer there. Wouldn't it be worth-while to review the report and the programs and to assess its effectiveness and adoption?

Background
I came to learn about that once upon a time in Olmsted County there was a 21st Century Partnership of Olmsted County and its work in the early 2000's of developing a Community Strategic Plan for Diversity. There are a lot of great ideas contained in the report; some of which could address the current climate of racial and religious conflicts. I am still hoping to find a softcopy of the report. Though it's supposed to be on Olmsted County website, it is no longer there. Wouldn't it be worth-while to review the report and the programs and to assess its effectiveness and adoption?
I am taking it upon myself to type in from a hardcopy of the report some of the more pertinent ideas recommended in the report to give a shout out that executing to legacy ideas is paramount to making progress and hopefully mapping out which worked and which didn't :
Outline of the report
Suggestion
As region-wide initiatives like Journey to Growth and DMC roll out with focuses on diversity and inclusion as key growth enablers, the tendency is to re-boil the ocean to come up with another set of ideas. Let's not cook up more ideas. Rather let's learn from the past, start from there and do an an accounting of what progress was made, what worked and didn't.
