DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The mission of the Diversity and Inclusion Department is to promote community-wide values of diversity, equity,
inclusion, and access as they apply to civil rights enforcement, the City’s employee and labor relations, its provision
of municipal services, capital investments, business support and development, and the quality of life that all Fort
Worth residents experience.

This mission is accomplished through the development and implementation of a comprehensive strategic focus
on initiatives and efforts to identify racial disparities, and address and eliminate systemic barriers, in the delivery
of municipal services; through the development and integration of an Equity Policy that promotes diversity and
inclusion and ensures equitable access in the delivery of services and resources; through the development and
implementation of programs and initiatives that promote cultural awareness and inclusion; through contract
compliance and MWBE capacity building; and, through the enforcement of anti-discrimination laws that protect
our residents in employment, housing and places of public accommodation.

The Department has three divisions: Business Equity, Civil Rights Enforcement, and Municipal Equity.

The Business Equity Division supports capacity building efforts for aspiring, and existing minority and women
business enterprises, leads efforts to close racial and gender gaps in City contracting and procurement, and assists
small, minority-owned and women-owned businesses in gaining access to prime contracting and sub-contracting
opportunities offered through city procurement in compliance with the City Council-approved Business Diversity
Enterprise (BDE) Ordinance No. 20020-12-2011 or its most recent version.

The Civil Rights Enforcement Division works to provide equitable treatment and justice for all under the law by
providing education on, and enforcement of, the civil rights of Fort Worth residents in employment, housing,
places of public accommodation, and in City programs and services in compliance with the Human Relations
Ordinance (Chapter 17 of City Code).
