THE COLORADO SPRINGS DIVERSITY FORUM

 

OUR MISSION
To strengthen our community by promoting, recognizing and
celebrating diversity and inclusion

OUR VISION
Everybody Welcome
A community where diversity is embraced and inclusion is a way of life

OUR GOAL
National recognition of Colorado Springs as an inclusive community by 2010

 

The Colorado Springs Diversity Forum was established in 2005 by a small group of civic leaders who came together to explore the contribution diversity can make to our community. Today, the Diversity Forum is comprised of representatives from public, private, non-profit, and education sectors. 

Our strategy is to build on the positive work and influence of the diverse cultures that contribute to the social and business structure of our city. We recognize that positive diversity practices enhance economic vitality, promote business success, and improve the quality of life for current and future citizens of Colorado Springs.  Our work represents a visible commitment to helping our community achieve its full potential.
