Diversity and Inclusion Committee

“Diversity and inclusion are two interconnected concepts—but they are far from interchangeable. Diversity is about representation or the make-up of an entity. Inclusion is about how well the contributions, presence, and perspectives of different groups of people are valued and integrated into an environment.”
-Matt Bush, Culture Coaching Lead at Great Place to Work

Our Vision

To ignite action through communication and understanding of the challenges and opportunities of inclusion and representation.

Our Focus

  • Provide educational resources to fuel an internal examination of our biases and perceptions
  • Contribute to information to initiate courageous conversations within our workplaces
  • Facilitate caring and value in each other
  • Publish opportunities to engage in events in our community
