CHRC attending the City of Cincinnati's 1st Annual Economic Inclusion update, Monday, March 21st, 2016

We at the Cincinnati Human Relations continue to support the Economic Inclusion Advisory Council's (EIAC) recommendations for a “Greater Cincinnati for Economic Inclusion”. We support the 37 recommendations aimed at increasing the amount of city contracts awarded to minority- and women-owned businesses contracting with the City of Cincinnati, the 14 recommendations focused on changes to internal polic...ies and procedures at City Hall, and the 23 recommendations aimed at helping the region became a catalyst for Economic Inclusion.

This report highlights that an effective structure is being put in place that promotes Economic Inclusion, along with a set of metrics to gauge whether it is being effective over time.

We support the City's efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming Cincinnati.

CHRC's Executive Director, Dr. Ericka King-Betts, serves on the departments Contract Compliance Advisory Board.
