How We STARTED

OFFICERS

In 2013, several Savannah-based federal employees formed the Savannah Interagency Diversity Council in order to combine their efforts to support diversity and inclusion within their agencies and in our community. We have grown steadily ever since. As the first organization of its kind, the SIDC is a model organization for other cities, counties and states.
