The project team is committed to engaging the public throughout the course of the City of San Diego Disparity Study. BBC Research & Consulting will host various events to help the public understand the purpose of the study and to offer opportunities for the public to submit testimony and comments about their experiences working in the local marketplace and with the City. The events schedule will be updated regularly. Please check back periodically for those updates.

During each meeting, the project team gave a presentation describing the Disparity Study, including its purpose, methodology and the study schedule. Following the presentation, attendees were given the opportunity to ask questions and submit verbal or written testimony about their experiences working in the local marketplace and with the City. All comments are being treated confidentially. They will be integrated as part of the project team’s analyses of local marketplace conditions without identifying the sources.
