Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA)

In Columbus, diversity and inclusion are integral to our city’s DNA. The vibrant, diverse people and neighborhoods in our city are built into our identity, and we can't wait to share them with you. Our commitment to an open and welcoming environment is why Columbus has annually scored a 100 on the Human Rights Campaign’s Municipal Equality Index since 2013, and it’s the blueprint local leaders are using to make Columbus — “America’s Equal Opportunity City.” View our resources below to learn more about the people, businesses and places that make up our community.
