Diversity
Diversity is immersed in all we do, diversity is more than just race, age, and gender to us but also differences in education, work backgrounds, years of service, professional certifications, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, work styles, thoughts or ideas, and all other unique differences that make each of us who we are. Diversity is about recognizing differences and honoring them, as well as recognizing similarities among people.
Equity
Equity means all people receive the proper support that they need in order to be successful and they get access to the same opportunities. We strive to ensure that everyone has an equal chance for success.
Inclusion
Inclusion ensures that all people are able to fully participate, feel valued, and welcomed no matter what their background may be. Inclusion involves the steps that we must take to ensure that everyone’s differences are respected, appreciated, and valued.
