Supporting diversity, equity, & inclusion within our profession.

The Colorado Society of Certified Public Accountants (COCPA) is dedicated to embracing and celebrating diversity across our community, membership, and profession. We believe that a diverse population enhances the overall vitality of our community, profession, and membership. Diversity, as we see it, encompasses individuals of various ethnicities, genders, colors, orientations, ages, abilities, and religious beliefs (among others). At the COCPA, we firmly assert that everyone belongs in our profession on equal and inclusive terms.

To support this commitment, the COCPA has established a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) committee. This committee has developed webcasts aimed at sharing the stories of diverse community members, detailing their experiences with challenges, triumphs, and significant achievements. Additionally, another series of webcasts encourages community engagement through self-awareness and meditation practices. These webcasts are accessible to all and encourage participants to broaden their perspectives.

The COCPA and its DE&I committee are united in their mission to foster recognition and appreciation of diversity within the accounting profession and our membership. Through the resources provided by the committee, we strive to actively welcome and embrace diversity within our community.
