[Adopted 5-2-2007 by L.L. No. 3-2007]
The Common Council of the City of Ithaca is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workforce and desires to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace by publicly recognizing individuals, groups, or departments who have excelled in respecting differences, promoting inclusion, and acting as a role model for others. The purpose of the Diversity and Inclusion Award is to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of a group of employees, an individual employee, or a department by rewarding and highlighting exceptional efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the workforce.
There is hereby created a Diversity and Inclusion Award within the City of Ithaca which will be awarded annually to that individual, group, or department that the City of Ithaca Workforce Diversity Committee, in its sole discretion, has selected from among the nominees presented to it.
Nominations for the Diversity and Inclusion Award may be made in writing during the month of June by any employee, group of employees, the Workforce Diversity Committee as a whole, or by any of its members. The nomination shall discuss the reason the nominee should be awarded the Diversity and Inclusion Award, specifically addressing one or more of the criteria in § 90-78.

The Diversity and Inclusion Award shall consist of a plaque and an award of $500 which shall be used to attend a diversity seminar, conference, educational forum or similar activity; to purchase books, videos or other material promoting diversity; for outreach efforts for the purpose of further increasing diversity in the workplace; for purposes of providing services that are inclusive for a diverse constituent population; or for any other diversity purpose approved by the Workforce Diversity Committee.
