make up the Milwaukee Recreation Equity Committee. The committee meets regularly to weigh the
needs of staff members, so it can
then create positive change in the
community. " Recreation has always been a frontrunner for [equity], " explains Dr. Reed. " From the
leadership to the [team members],

we are really grappling with what
equity means to the department
and with the best way to mobilize.
This work isn't linear: It's cyclical. "
On March 19, the committee
launched its training by convening
all full-time staff for an off-site retreat. The session focused on the difference between equality and equity,
covered recent self-assessment data
and introduced the current MPS
Equity Policy. The staff also went
through the " Culturally Responsive
Practice wheel " (https://tinyurl.

com/ycjl5e5v), which is the framework surrounding awareness, analysis and action that guides all work for
the district. The committee hosted another full-time staff meeting on June
7 to outline how to view one's work
through an equal-opportunity lens.
Milwaukee Recreation is still in
the initial stages of its push for equity, but by using the defined approach
on the wheel, the department will
establish a comprehensive plan to
institute positive directives around
the city. The reflection tool allows its
practitioners to consider the people
the department serves every day.
" In an effort to aptly serve our
community, which faces many challenges, it is important for us not only
to understand these challenges, but
also to do our part to help overcome
them, " says Partnership for the Arts
& Humanities Supervisor April Heding. " The first step is to become selfaware, not only of the department,
but also for all employees to understand their unique cultural identities
and how this affects their work. "
Equity has always been a starting point for Milwaukee Recreation, but by officially bringing
the issue to the front of the line,
the ever-expanding department is
clearly re-framing its objectives for
the future. " At the end of the day,
everyone has the right to high-quality, culturally relevant recreational
activities, and it's our job to make
that happen, " says Heding.
