The City of El Segundo's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Committee was established by City Council in
October 2020. Its purpose is to inspire and activate efforts to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion into City
of El Segundo decisions, service delivery and policies to improve the well-being of the entire El Segundo
community.

2024.
