The Equity & Inclusion Council is comprised of representatives from across the 13 state system community colleges and the Colorado Community College System office.
Members work collaboratively to support and set system-wide standards for Inclusive Excellence within the Colorado Community College System and Member Colleges.
The purpose of the Equity & Inclusion Council is to serve as an advisory board to system and college leadership and to be a thought leader in the areas of equity and inclusivity. The Council will focus its work on closing the equity gap for students, diversifying the system and college workforce through inclusive hiring practices, and improving the retention of underrepresented employees.
