One of our core values is we are One Agency: We support each other by embracing inclusion and diversity, recognizing we are all BWC. As a cabinet agency, we have signed on to Ohio’s Executive Plan of Action to Advance Equity in Ohio, and we are fully committed to advance its commitments. 

We invite you to read our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategic Plan.
