ELUHO’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Environmental and Land Use Hearings Office (ELUHO) acknowledges that systemic inequities, such as racism, sexism, and ableism, abound in our communities and institutions. As public servants for the State of Washington, we are responsible for helping dismantle these inequities by providing equitable access to the services we provide.

ELUHO is committed to reducing disparities by building an equity framework into our key business lines and culture. We prioritize access to justice for marginalized individuals and communities by identifying and helping to dissolve the barriers to administrative processes, such as lack of awareness and easy-to-understand information.

We recognize the importance of community representation in the workplace and strive to hire and retain a diverse workforce. We understand that each person brings their own history, experience, and values when they come to work. We aim to develop employees to recognize bias, avoid biased decision-making, and actively promote equity and inclusion in the workplace.
