After more than a decade of work with Arizona’s business community, ONE Community understands that every organization can only benefit from embracing diversity and inclusiveness. In fact, we believe it is a necessity to go beyond simply following the letter of the law. You must develop an internal and external culture, becoming truly competent in LGBTQ+ inclusive Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in order to recruit top talent and stay competitive. That's why we developed ONE Community Institute.
