The Statewide Equity Office (SEO) is dedicated to fostering equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility through active engagement with both State of Colorado employees and community members. To further this commitment, the SEO launched five distinct Statewide Communities of Practice in June 2024: Accessibility, External Strategy, Internal Strategy, Supplier Diversity: Construction, and Supplier Diversity: Goods & Services. These groups, composed of individuals with professional and lived experience in overcoming disparities, guide the SEO’s strategic directions to ensure that our initiatives resonate effectively with the diverse communities we serve.

The Statewide Equity Office is committed to leading engagement with populations experiencing disparities. The Statewide Equity Office distributes resources and efforts across various initiatives. Among these, a key aspect of our work involves actively collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders to address and engage with communities experiencing disparate outcomes.
