A message from our Human Resources Director, Sheila Simpson:
My most favorite part about working with the City of Charlotte is seeing how far, how deep, and how wide the work of the city transcends. It is an honor to be part of such a dynamic team. There are jobs and careers that a person can have here that are simply amazing. The City of Charlotte has a lot to offer, and the impact is wide. Our work matters. It matters to the 18,000 lives of the people who we directly serve every day. Some of them are employees, others are our employees' loved ones. There will be many days that the work we do may go unnoticed. However, there is never a day that it goes undervalued. I cannot be prouder to serve the City of Charlotte and the communities we support.

Land acknowledgement
The City of Charlotte acknowledges that we are meeting on the unceded homeland of the Catawba, Cheraw, Sugeree, Wateree and Waxhaw peoples. We acknowledge that the symbol of this city, the intersection of Trade and Tryon streets, was a trading route and meeting spot for Indigenous peoples and that colonialism, genocide, and forced migration has been responsible for the erasure of Indigenous people in our community.
We seek forgiveness and reconciliation for this painful part of our local and national history. We vow to honor the Native American voices in our community and recognize that, despite the forced erasure of their peoples, their presence is still with us.
Labor Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Charlotte benefitted from the enslavement and forced labor of African people and their descendants. The inhumane institution of chattel slavery created wealth and opportunity for a few, while creating systems of institutional and interpersonal racism that persist to this day in our systems of government, education, housing and health care. We also acknowledge that the development of uptown Charlotte, where we are meeting today, has been at the expense of the African American community of Brooklyn through forced displacement and false promises of resettlement.
The City of Charlotte is committed to equity and inclusion, and we wish to acknowledge and learn from our history. We seek to lift the voices of those Black, Indigenous and people of color who are still here, while honoring the dignity and grief of those peoples displaced by unfair and inclusive and fair Charlotte community where all can thrive.
