About the Diversity Commission

Diversity Commission logo

The mission of the Diversity Commission is to help foster diversity and inclusion within the community at large. The Commission's powers and duties are:

  • To make recommendations to the Town Council that potentially enhance the Town of Leesburg government's ability to communicate with and to deliver services more effectively to minority residents and business owners within the Town.
      
  • To work with the Leesburg Economic Development Commission and town staff on a regular outreach effort to the minority business community in order to increase awareness of town services and to understand potential opportunities to do business with the Town.
      
  • To make recommendations to the Town Council that provide the Town of Leesburg with the opportunity to enhance and celebrate the Town's diverse community.

The Leesburg Diversity Commission was created in July 2015, as an outcome of the Council's Workforce Diversity Task Force.
