Welcome to CCIE
Colorado Campaign for Inclusive Excellence* (CCIE) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to increasing diversity in the legal profession and actively recruiting, educating, and supporting private and public sector legal organizations in their own individual campaigns to create cultures of inclusion.

Community-wide effort: CCIE has proven to be a tremendous catalyst of energy and enthusiasm in the legal community to find meaningful solutions to the challenge of lack of diversity.

Innovative solutions:  CCIE's groundbreaking work in developing a six-step inclusiveness program represents a significant move toward achieving a new paradigm in the legal community concerning diversity.  CCIE acts as a clearinghouse for information on diversity best practices and supports legal offices in their efforts to adopt the principles of inclusive excellence.

Clear commitment to diversity:  Colorado lawyers and judges are deeply committed to diversity in the legal profession.  Join us in our mission to transform the legal profession to one of inclusion where attorneys of all backgrounds succeed without regard to gender, race, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or gender expression.

*The concept of "inclusive excellence" was first developed by the American Association of Colleges & Universities - www.aacu.org.
