Falmouth's DEIB Advisory Committee unanimously endorses consultant RFP for 18-month strategic plan. Town Manager Mike Renshaw and HR Director Susan Lumping, with input from the Massachusetts Municipal Association's Jillian Harvey, will hire a consultant to develop the plan before recruiting a permanent DEIB Officer, contingent on FY28 budget.

The Committee, which expanded to seven members with the addition of Ocean Eversley and Diana Manchester Barrell, approved by the Select Board, also noted that Chair Mananjo Jonahson will step down in June.
