Thank you Councilmember Rex Richardson and the Long Beach City Council for voting to approve the first recommendation from our recently published report “Diversifying the Long Beach Fire Department”, to create a full time sworn diversity recruitment coordinator.

Special thank you to the Long Beach Firefighters for your commitment to equity and inclusion.

Great job to our inaugural EPIC Leaders Institute class members who advocated to make this happen.
