Statement of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion:
CortlandMusic,
INC is a non-profit organization that was created expressly for the purpose of inclusiveness in 2004, back then, when no one was using the term for the purpose of encompassing members, stakeholder and participant community in a common aim: "to make art for the sake of art" without regard for color, race, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, gender, economic circumstances , religion, or abilities. Our core values are our commitment to inclusiveness and diversity (in the most extensive meaning of the word) and we practice what we preach.
True art encompasses diversity, and the practice of inclusion has always been our foremost strength; for that reason our organization, in the town of Cortland, has always been admired, particularly when the public explores our diverse Board of Directors, our policies and procedures, our programing and the origins of our 501-C organization.
