IMP. IMBO <br /> d"fr,,{ynr,fw VhP. <br /> w Mashpee lncCusion and'Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road -Vort(- <br /> MasGtpee, M-A 02649 <br /> Survey <br /> Mr. Kupferman has done a lot of work on this. Ms. Stevenson sent the link to Southport and <br /> New Seabury, but she is unsure if it was distributed. There have been 20 responses to the link <br /> survey. <br /> There have been 180 paper responses to the survey, and results were handed out. There <br /> wasn't a large representation from minors, but overall that figure is a good sampling for a town <br /> survey. It may be from a group of more involved people, but we want participation, and by <br /> making it accessible to all is how we do that. Paper copies have been replaced with QR codes <br /> and online links. We can try and get more results, but only electronically. Mr. Kupferman does <br /> not think there will be much of a difference in the data. <br /> Max Nash noted a lot of youth don't find the local government to be very accessible, especially <br /> when it involves activism. Distributing this survey to the high school to get young people's input <br /> would be crucial. <br /> Ms. Hill stated the school has been surveying students a lot lately, maybe after the holidays <br /> would be a better time to approach it. They would have to get approval from Administration, but <br /> it could be sent via an email through the principal, to student emails or by posting the QR code <br /> around the building. Ms. Hill will help facilitate a meeting with some faculty and Chair <br /> Stevenson. Chair Stevenson noted it received Select Board approval before being distributed <br /> amongst the town departments. <br /> Mr. Kupferman continued there was some comments regarding the Wampanoags, LGBTQ+, <br /> seniors, and visibility, specifically around events. <br /> Ms. Stevenson is curious how long we want to have this circulating in the community. We want <br /> to establish an end date of January 315t to allow the school time to participate. This survey tells <br /> us how the community feels about DEI and this committee's involvement. <br /> One point to note, as 84% of residents stated as a priority in town, is to respond to acts of hate <br /> and report to town government and intervene to achieve resolutions. <br /> Mr. Klein commented the Town Manager did seek advice from this Committee. We are an <br /> advisory committee, if he feels he needs to bring it to our attention he will. We discuss the <br /> matter and he takes the information and does what he wants with it. <br /> 3 <br />
