Enhancing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our Workforce and in our Communities

Under the leadership of Mayor Eric Garcetti, Board President Cynthia McClain-Hill, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners, and General Manager and Chief Engineer Martin L. Adams, LADWP began the hard work of research, engagement, and documentation of the department’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) history, culture, and practices via the development of a Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP). Goals and recommendations were established for the Plan to ensure LADWP advances toward building an inclusive organization that employees, city officials, business leaders, community stakeholders, and residents can look upon with pride. The REAP was released summer 2021.
