DEI Committee

  

Speak Less, Do More is a theme of the DEI Committee this year and a reminder that we are capable of doing great things. We know that diversity, equity, and inclusion are important and we want to create a workplace that reflects the communities we serve and a culture where everyone feels valued, heard, and included. 

 

For 2021, the work of the DEI Committee is focused on three building blocks: 1) local voices, 2) training, and 3) communication. 

The first step we’re taking is inviting more “local voices” on to the DEI Committee, to have our DEI efforts include the diversity of the communities we’re in. 

I encourage anyone who wants to contribute to our work on the DEI Committee to review our 2021 DEI Committee Charter, get permission from their supervisor and then fill out this Google Form. Applications are due by 5 p.m., Friday, March 12.  We will announce the new DEI Committee members by March 26. 

 

There’s so much room to impact DEI at LCSNW. More details on the DEI Committee and our approach for selecting Committee members can be found in the 2021 DEI Committee Charter posted on our Intranet and attached here. It also details why we chose this approach to expand the Committee, Committee goals and the commitment it takes to be on the Committee.  

Have a great weekend.
