Ozarks Inclusion Project

With this Sponsorship Package, you will receive a Basic Listing on OzarksInclusionProject.org at no additional charge.

The Ozarks Inclusion Project connects the LGBTQIA+ community in southwest Missouri with the inclusive businesses and organizations who are excited about employing, housing, and offering services to gay and transgender folks. This is a year-round online directory, coupled with trainings, and other ways of connecting. Basic listings are free, and 3 months of Sponsored or Premium listings are included with specific Sponorship categories, as indicated above. Would you like your organization/business to be listed at ozarksinclusionproject.org?

Yes No

If you answered yes, please answer the following questions:

1. Our company or organization explicitly protects against discrimination in employment and services on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, including on applications.

Yes, I agree.

2. Even when policies exist, or are mandated by law, subtle discrimination can still seep into a company's culture. We affirm that we are committed to radical inclusion, making welcoming space for people of all abilities and disabilities, being proactively anti-racist, boldly recognizing the strengths of people of all faiths or no religious affiliation. Because we know that a space that is not safe for a trans black woman, or a gay man in a wheelchair, or a Muslim genderqueer person is not truly an inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community.

Yes, I agree.

3. We affirm the right of all people of all genders and abilities to safe, unobstructed use of restroom/locker room facilities.

Yes, I agree.

3.b. All single-user restrooms/locker rooms display gender neutral signage.

Yes No, we need to get signage.

4. Our staff has undergone LGBTQIA+ cultural competency training provided by The GLO Center or other approved source within the last 3 years.

Yes No Yes, but we could probably use a refresher, or have additional staff to train, or are not sure if the training would be considered "approved." Not sure
