Council on Diversity Affairs

The Council on Diversity Affairs (CODA) is a body made up of diverse community members appointed by the Mayor to help identify systemic failures, provide policy recommendations, and focus on measurable actions toward addressing equity, access, institutional reform and racial justice in Salt Lake County.

Mission Statement

CODA supports and promotes an inclusive community and government for all through dialogue, respect, action, and civic engagement to bring about meaningful, sustainable change that unites and strengthens Salt Lake County.

Our Vision

Our vision is for Salt Lake County to be a place where everyone has equitable access to opportunities; a place where we act intentionally to connect people of all backgrounds to achieve their highest civic and economic potential; a place where we confront and address the historic, systemic racial inequalities that continue to exist in our community.
