At tonight’s Northwest District Council meeting, the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods will team up with Imago Organizational Design to present the beginning stages of the Leadership Inclusion Project.

The project's mission is to work with each of the 13 Seattle Neighborhood District Councils to support their ongoing efforts to engage and involve all community members within their district, according to the Department of Neighborhoods.

“The Department of Neighborhoods recognizes that the groups are already doing a lot of great work, so it’s an opportunity to strengthen what’s already happening,” said Angela Powell, a primary consultant from Imago Organizational Design.

The department also said they hope the project will be a resource to build upon each districts past successes.

“This isn’t a project that says 'here’s what you’re going to do,' but instead you have some time and you have a consultant,” Powell said.

At tonight’s Northwest District Council meeting, Department of Neighborhoods and Imago will introduce the project and get ideas of what diversity means to the district, said Powell.

“We’ll discuss who is the Northwest District, who does that include and we’ll be doing exercises that really draws out the group,” Powell said. “That will help inform us of what will happen next.”

The Northwest District Council meeting will be from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 8515 Greenwood Ave. N.

Imago Organizational Design partners with individuals and organizations to create initiatives that generate new solutions and produce concrete, inspired growth and change. Its goal is to provide tailored, specific services that will help those do their work more effectively.
