ABOUT US
Formed in 2017, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DEI) Council of Colorado engages in activities that promote awareness, education, and action designed to move communities toward valuing their uniqueness and differences.
Our members include state and local governments, businesses, faith communities, individual community members, nonprofits and the arts and entertainment community.
We believe that change only happens at the speed of relationships, and relationships based on mutual trust begin with willingness to be vulnerable and authentic with ourselves first.
