Equity Action Teams (EAT)
Under the structure of the Roundtable, Equity Action Teams (EATs) focused on specific topic areas are convened by the Roundtable as a vehicle for better understanding and addressing the intersecting and compounding factors that contribute to Fairfax County’s equity challenges. Following Fairfax County’s Inclusive Community Engagement Spectrum, EATs are convened to ‘Contribute’ and/or ‘Collaborate’ on either:
- the development of a county policy, practice, and/or strategy; or
- the identification of innovative cross-sector strategies to address an identified equity challenge.
Based on the topic, EATs can consist of Roundtable members, residents, and representatives of the civic, faith, nonprofit, philanthropic, academic, and business communities and are supported by county government staff. EAT membership is a balance of technical expertise, live experience, and diverse and inclusive representation related to the topic. Priority to county residents who have not had an opportunity to engage in the public process at this level with the County.
