Green Bay looks to add new diversity and inclusion coordinator position in the 2020 budget

GREEN BAY (WLUK) -- Making Green Bay a more diverse and welcoming place to work and live is something Mayor Eric Genrich said he`s working to do.

"So I talked from the beginning when I was running for mayor that diversity is a real strength for the community and a real strength for our organization as a city, he said.

Genrich`s dedication to making this a reality has led him to cut a Human Resources position in the Green Bay 2020 budget and allocate $46,929 for a new diversity and inclusion coordinator.

"The bulk of the work would be internal, so working with Human Resources to make it clear to folks and those looking to apply and already working for the city that we are going to be very intentional about having an open and inclusive workplace," said Mayor Genrich.
