About the Company

In November 2022, New York City voters overwhelmingly approved three ballot proposals that put racial equity and justice at the heart of city government, including the NYC Commission on Racial Equity (NYC CORE).
The first of its kind in the nation, the NYC Commission on Racial Equity is an independent 15-member commission responsible for engaging diverse communities to guide and assess the City’s racial equity planning process.
NYC CORE provides accountability for New Yorkers, regularly evaluating the City’s progress on its racial requirements and goals.
NYC CORE will be composed of diverse New Yorkers with equity expertise and/or relevant lived experience, serving as a conduit to bring historically excluded communities and voices into government decision-making.
NYC CORE is an independent commission to hold the NYC government accountable to advance racial equity in government operations and to increase community voice in government decision-making.
The Chair & Executive Director is jointly appointed by the Mayor and the New York City Council Speaker.
Other NYC CORE commissioners are appointed by the Mayor, City Council Speaker, City Comptroller, and Public Advocate.
The Commission's staff is responsible for executing the Commission's day-to-day mission and setting its path to success.
NYC CORE team takes the vision of the Chair & Executive Director and the Commissioners and translates it into action strategies and plans that implement accountability for racial equity in the city.
Like the Commission itself, the Commission’s staff aims to be representative of New Yorkers from all communities and walks of life.
Staff bring an accountability mindset to their work, ensuring they collaborate with city agencies and voice public concerns.
