Chandler works to promote an inclusive community that values its rich diversity, history, and culture through work with the Chandler Human Relations Commission (HRC) developing diverse educational programs and events. This division also partners with all members of the Chandler community to highlight our diverse population, as well as to serve as a resource for those wanting to learn more about Chandler’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) efforts.
Priorities of the division include community events, education, advocacy & collaboration.
