About the Office of Diversity Equity & Inclusion
Oakland County is committed to the goal of operationalizing equity by taking actions to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion within our county operations. As a government organization with a commitment to public service and influence on public decision-making, Oakland County has a responsibility to identify, challenge and change systems that perpetuate injustices and create disparate outcomes for marginalized and disadvantaged individuals and communities.
We are continuously taking actions to integrate diversity, equity, and inclusion into all county operations as well as setting measurements to identify progress or areas of opportunity.
We will hold ourselves accountable to this commitment through continuous education around structural and systemic inequities and intentional incorporation of equity and inclusion in all policies, practices, and programs.

Coulter: We Must Stand United Against Hate
Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter released the following statement in response to the antisemitic flyers targeting a Berkley neighborhood this weekend and other recent attacks on the dignity of Oakland County residents:
“Oakland County stands firmly against antisemitism in all its forms. The antisemitic flyers distributed in Berkley are a hateful and cowardly act intended to divide neighbors and spread fear among the Jewish community. We cannot allow this to become normalized. Hate directed at Jewish families, Muslim communities, Black residents, immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, or anyone else attacks the values that make our communities strong and welcoming. Antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, homophobia and every form of hate diminish us all. Confronting them requires more than condemnation — it requires the courage to speak out, stand with one another and choose empathy over fear. Oakland County will continue to stand for a community where every person feels safe, valued and welcome.”
