Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Our work is defined by community input, fact-based solutions, and an ongoing commitment to addressing structural barriers to economic opportunity for marginalized residents. At the WCDC, we believe that that a sustainable community embraces equity and fully integrates people from all
backgrounds and races.

Diversity

We will embrace and celebrate cultural differences that exist in our community.

Equity

We will acknowledge and address structural barriers to economic empowerment, particularly for people who have been marginalized.

Inclusion

We will welcome and engage deeply with people of all backgrounds and races to create economic opportunity and provide access, especially for marginalized residents.

Measurement

We will track and publish participation and impact data to ensure we are honoring our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
