We are a member committee of the Greater Des Moines Partnership, made up of 20-25 members of the Greater Des Moines business community who are committed to creating inclusive corporate cultures and growing varied customer bases. The Diversity Committee acts as a catalyst to mobilize the business community toward a broad economic development vision that incorporates all people as valued contributors and valuable customers. Our typical committee member is a human resource professional or business executive with experience managing diversity in the workplace.

The Diversity Committee has set objectives in three main areas:

• Sponsoring Diversity Events
• Recognizing diversity initiatives within the Partnership's member organizations
• Providing access to diversity-related educational resources
