Workplace Inclusion and Belonging

Recommended External Resources

Our Principles of Community emphasize that every individual is vital to the success of our mission. Achieving this mission requires a deep understanding and appreciation of the diverse backgrounds, histories, and cultures within our community.

In 2020, we collectively realized how much was missing from our education about the full experiences of the people in our country and state. We began the vital work of broadening what we learn, seeking out narratives, histories, and perspectives that have often been overlooked, left out, or underrepresented. We committed ourselves to understanding how past and present policies have shaped unequal experiences, and listened with intention to the voices of those who have not always been heard.

This journey has pushed us to critically examine the norms and assumptions we may take for granted, and to recognize our shared responsibility to challenge systems and practices that are not open or equitable to all. If we are to create a genuinely inclusive community, one that honors access, mutual respect, and belonging for everyone, we need to remain committed to expanding our awareness, questioning established structures, and ensuring that every individual feels valued and seen.
