Inclusion

Goal • Champion diversity through intentional inclusion of all

Why Inclusion?

The Tri-Cities is rich with diversity. Our unique differences make us stronger. But while diversity is a fact, inclusion is a choice.

Community Value

  • Increased quality of life
  • Stronger community collaboration
  • Better informed through diversity of thought
  • National showcase for future demographics

Supporting Trends

  • Americans are more racially and ethnically diverse than in the past, and the U.S. is projected to be even more diverse in the coming decades.
  • Diverse and inclusive communities retain and attract a young and multi-generational citizenry.
  • Diversity stimulates innovation and the ability to respond to changing needs.
  • Globalization trends show next generation employees will be selected based on their global skills, operations experience and their systems thinking ability.
