InDo Nashville Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy

At InDo Nashville, we believe that creativity thrives in spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and empowered to be their full selves.

As the founders of InDo, we set out to create more than just a beautiful place to work—we wanted to build a community that reflects the vibrant diversity of Nashville and the many industries that call this city home. From day one, it’s been essential to us that people from all walks of life and all nationalities feel welcome here.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI):

• We embrace and celebrate people of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, religions, and abilities.

• We are committed to equitable access to opportunities, resources, and representation within our coworking, event, and creative spaces.

• We actively seek to amplify underrepresented voices through our programming, partnerships, and community events.

• We welcome honest dialogue and feedback and are always open to learning how we can do better—for our members and for our city.

• We believe a diverse community is a strong community, and we’re proud to build that future together—one day, one idea, and one collaboration at a time.

As other companies step back from their DEI efforts, we’re proud to step up and reaffirm what’s always been true at InDo: Everyone belongs here.
