The City of Minneapolis is seeking a consultant to deliver department-tailored Belonging, Equity, Inclusion, and Anti-racism (BEIAR) learning and organizational-development services.

Preliminary objectives include anti-racism learning, reflection and accountability, interrupting racist behavior, constructive communication, and advancing an anti-racist workplace culture.
