County Resources on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
NACo aims to uplift county actions that strive to diminish inequity and amplify local approaches that lead to improved outcomes for all residents regardless of their race, in furtherance of the organization’s mission of strengthening America’s counties.
County Resources on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Counties play a critical role in building vibrant communities for all individuals, often serving as a safety net for low-income and indigent residents and carrying out critical local functions like economic development and public safety oversight. To ensure all residents have what they need to achieve their fullest potential - including employment opportunity and access to health care, nutritious food and affordable housing - county leaders are taking actions to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion into county operations.
