Dr. Terry Hogan

Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The primary purpose of the Department of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is to help build an inclusive government which reflects its people and a community in which race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability are not a determinant of success.

The DEI Department works with City Administration and other departments as well as the Fargo City Commission and the advisory boards, committees and commissions of the City to identify ways in which a more inclusive and equitable climate may be achieved. The DEI Department serves an important role in crafting policy, optimizing services and acting as a liaison to under-represented sections of the community.

Equity: Set the foundation for access to opportunities and resources for all people, with a clear understanding and acknowledgement of current equity gaps and the impacts on vulnerable populations and all people.

Inclusion: Create an environment which is authentic and transparent in which all people feel valued and welcomed.
