Policy 269 - Employee Affinity Groups


Employee Affinity Groups (EAG) are voluntary associations of Lower Columbia College employees who gather together around a common interest and are formed pursuant to the college’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Strategic Plan. EAGs play a vital role in developing and improving employee morale and the campus climate. EAGs support the shared mission, vision and values of the College and break down barriers of rank and work group around shared interests by encouraging collaboration and understanding.

LCC is supportive of a system of Employee Affinity Groups that contribute to the following:

  • Foster employee development.
  • Contribute to the College’s commitment to advancing social equity, while challenging systems of power, privilege and inequities.
  • Strengthen networking and cohesiveness across the College, and promote career and professional development.
  • Provide important feedback to management and assist with efforts to attract and retain highly qualified candidates for employment at LCC.
