Following the tragic death of Andrew Brown Jr and our community’s immediate and unexpected thrust into the national media spotlight, we acknowledge that we need some help. And while tourism may not be the primary focus of the tragedy and ensuing events, we cannot move forward until we learn more. Therefore, Visit Elizabeth City is seeking proposals from qualified Diversity, Equity and Inclusion consultants to provide a DEI community assessment and develop an action plan that will guide VEC in developing, planning and implementing programs and messaging to increase diversity, equity and inclusion in the tourism space and more.
Please note the deadline for submissions is July 19, 2021. Also note we request that submissions be as concise as possible and no more than 8 pages in length.
