About the Philipstown DEI Committee
Our informal group was formed in response to a racist incident at a library event in 2021. Members representing the Garrison Union Free School District, the Haldane PTA EDI Committee, Butterfield Library, and the Desmond-Fish Public Library developed a community-wide survey, the results of which can be read here. The two school districts and the two public libraries have also been joined by the Manitou School and many other community organizations. All are welcome to be part of the effort. Please contact philipstowndei@gmail.com
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Philipstown DEI Committee is to raise awareness
and foster learning and sharing opportunities that promote
community-wide engagement. By working together across institutions, we strive to ensure that all Philipstown community members are represented, acknowledged, and valued.
