The Lane County Equity Action Plan, adopted in January 2021, is aimed at improving equitable outcomes for its populations through the implementation of an equity lens in daily operations. The implementation of the equity lens framework is a change process that requires frequent evaluation and revision of policies, both internal and external. The authors conducted personal interviews with individuals in Lane County, Multnomah County, and the City of Portland who had experience in equity and inclusion, and reached four recommendations for Lane County to implement its Equity Action Plan.
