Body

SUMMARY:

The Office of Racial, Equity Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) recommends that the Board formally acknowledge and declare October 2022 as Polish American Heritage Month. 

 

October was first declared Polish American Heritage Month by Congress in 1981. Throughout the United States, observances during the month of October aim to honor the contributions of Polish immigrants and their descendants to American history and culture. The first Polish settlers arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1608.

By adopting this resolution, Santa Clara Valley Water District joins national efforts to honor the contributions of Polish immigrants and their descendants and supports more equitable, diverse, and inclusive practices.
