Our Policy

The ODC Network (ODCN) strives to incorporate the principles of diversity as one of its core organizational values. Achieving and engaging diversity among our Board of Directors and staff is critical for our organization in order to represent and serve the West Michigan community(s) of which we are a part.  Our goal is to ensure that these commitments, reinforced by our values, are embedded in our day to day working practices with all our customers, stakeholders, team members, and community members.
