The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission (DEIC) is an advisory commission of the City of Lynnwood made up of community members and appointed by City Council. Their duties include advising elected officials and staff on effective strategies for public engagement and removing barriers, building relationships with community, and creating partnerships with local organizations.
The Commission consists of seven (7) members who are appointed to serve three (3) year terms. Members must live within Lynnwood City limits and be a registered voter. The Commission may accept up to two (2) members that reside in the city's municipal urban growth area. Voter registration requirements may be waived for up to two (2) members of the Commission, provided that the individual was born in a country other than the United States of America and the individual is actively working towards obtaining citizenship. There is a preference for city of Lynnwood residents over nonresident candidates.
