RespectDiversity
The committee respects diversity. We are grateful to share experiences across differences. Diversity is inclusive of multiple identities, affiliations, and experiences, such as, but not limited to: race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, class (for example, education, profession, income, and wealth), language and dialect, nationality and region, age, ability, politics, and religion.

ValueEquity
The committee’s respect for diversity commits us to act on social equity. Equity is the path to meaningful equality. Its first steps begin with accessibility and the supports to take advantage of opportunity. Past and present discrimination needs to be repaired through the redistribution of resources and through social healing to achieve justice as fairness.

PRACTICEInclusion
The committee’s respect for diversity and commitment to social equity leads us, not merely to tolerate differences, but to value and welcome the experiences and perspectives that each person brings to the table. We aim to create a place and culture of belonging and sharing. This inclusive culture accelerates our learning and fosters our friendship.
