"I will..... continue to outreach for opportunities to engage and build relationships with diverse members of the community to inform school and organizational decisions."
On Tuesday, October 11, 2023, I was at a Flagstaff Community Town Hall focused on Equity. This opportunity was presented by Arizona Town Hall (https://aztownhall.org/) in partnership with Coconino Community College, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Arizona, and several other sponsors. Mayor Becky Daggett welcomed us. Arizona Town Hall President Tara Jackson and Holly Figueroa, Tribal Liaison for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona- Health Choice, facilitated the meeting. The amazing Kathy Haake, a community volunteer, summarized group responses. Participants, in-person and via Zoom, answered the following questions:
1. How would you define equity? To what extent has it impacted your personal or professional life?
2. To what extent is an equitable approach important for optimizing the potential of people, communities, and our state?
3. Where are the greatest opportunities to use equity to improve health care outcomes?
4. What action should be taken, and by whom to address the opportunities identified in the prior two questions?
Building Community, LLC’s commitment is to continue to outreach for opportunities to engage and build relationships with diverse members of the community to inform school and organizational decisions.
