DIB Directory

The Brookline Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community Relations in collaboration with the Brookline Economic Development and Long Term Planning Division have been taking steps to more closely support our community’s Diverse Business Enterprises. In January of 2022 the ODEICR released our first Diverse and Inclusive Business Directory to highlight and celebrate Brookline’s diverse, accessible, and inclusive independent business community. Since then we have added over 20 businesses into the Directory and incorporated community feedback to more reflect business owners' and residents' vision for the Directory. Beginning this year, 2025, our Diverse and Inclusive Directory has migrated to the WorkWith Brookline platform to enhance the usability of the Directory. The Diverse and Inclusive Directory is now searchable with ongoing submissions. We hope this directory will continue to evolve and serve as a marketing and networking tool for businesses, as well as help the Town of Brookline better align and develop programs and resources to meet the needs of Brookline’s diverse businesses. If you have any questions about the Directory or how to best access it, please reach out to Caitlin Starr, MPH, CDE, Assistant Director in the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Community Relations at ODEICR@brooklinema.gov or at 617-730-2345
