Awareness Economic Inclusion Commitment Equity And Opportunity at GTP
Equity is at the core of the Greater Topeka Partnership’s Momentum 2027 Strategy. It is embraced by every partner including the Greater Topeka Chamber of Commerce, Visit Topeka, Downtown Topeka, Inc., and GO Topeka. It is an intentional practice in all of our internal and external initiatives.
- Awareness: A place to learn and increase the business community knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
-
Economic Inclusion: A place to prosper and ensure that all individuals can enjoy the benefits of what Topeka has to offer.
- Commitment: A place to belong by elevating opportunities to address gaps for underrepresented/under-resourced communities across Topeka-Shawnee County.
We believe diversity is our strength, equity is our directive and inclusion is the spirit by which we do our work. In policy and practice, we seek to leverage intentional leadership to drive strategic and equitable growth. We are dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion in Shawnee County through community action, events, and fostering small group discussions about social equity. The “Champion Sponsor” is the signature partner for this effort. Thank you to our Equity & Opportunity Champion Sponsors, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kanas and Hill’s Pet Nutrition!
