appreciate and celebrate diverse identities, perspectives and experiences which strengthens our community.

EQUITY Equity ensures fair treatment, access and opportunity for all people. Equity seeks to identify and eliminate barriers that prevent the full participation of individuals or groups. Improving equity refers to just practices and policies as well as the distribution of resources. INCLUSION Inclusion is what brings diversity to life. Real inclusion goes beyond the numbers. It describes the intentionality of creating an environment in which everyone feels welcomed, valued and supported. We encourage honest and authentic dialogue where all voices are heard. And together, we learn to express civil discourse in respectful and thoughtful ways with those we may strongly disagree with.
