Diversity includes respect of the dignity of each individual
as a person not withstanding differences in personality,
age, gender, race, ethnicity, physical and mental ability,
sexual orientation, physical appearance, family status,
religious and political beliefs, socio-economic status, and
other personal identity markers.
The Office of Diversity works to
foster an
awareness, understanding and respect for the
differences that make us each unique human beings. It
strives to identify, understand and satisfy the needs of the
City's diverse workforce and community.
