 GARRETT COUNTY
The Garrett County Chamber of Commerce supports diversity and the inclusivity of all residents, visitors and guests. We are dedicated to creating and sustaining an inclusive environment where people want to live, work and play.
  Where All Are Welcome
As a community that is dependent upon the approximately 1.4 million visitors per year, a large percentage of whom are racially and culturally diverse, it is imperative we make our guests feel welcome and safe. We condemn all forms and acts of hatred, prejudice, and discrimination.
We affirm the value of human diversity because it enriches our lives and organizations. We recognize that full potential is realized when diversity and inclusion is the standard to strengthen and impact our community.
Inclusion requires community cooperation—including businesses, anchor institutions, government agencies, nonprofits, neighborhood organizations, and civic leadership—in taking proactive steps to identify and remove biases. As an organization, we are committed to using our platform and our voices to influence change through education, training, understanding, and open dialogue. We will work toward meaningful change to promote equality, unity, and inclusivity for the future through our actions and not just with our words.
The Garrett County Chamber of Commerce will work towards creating an inclusive and welcoming environment by:
• Participating in the Garrett County Anti-Racism Group
• Printing public notices “All Are Welcome in Garrett County”
to be posted throughout the County
• Hosting diversity & inclusion training and education programs, including best practices
• Continuing to host welcome receptions for Garrett College students
• Supporting the local NAACP chapter
• Engaging in ongoing dialogues on diversity and inclusivity
