Earlier this year, I became a Rotary member and was appointed as vice chair of the Toledo chapter’s member engagement committee. I was thrilled when I heard that Rotary International recently approved a diversity, equity and inclusion policy statement.
This commitment to creating a culture where everyone is valued is transformational! With more than 1.2 million Rotarians world-wide, we can help generate a groundswell for positive change. Inclusity is excited to help make the following statement a reality:
As a global network that strives to build a world where people
unite and take action to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity
and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds,
regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion,
socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.Rotary will cultivate a diverse, equitable, inclusive culture
In which people from underrepresented groups have
greater opportunities to participate as members and leaders.
– Maria White, Founder and CEO of Inclusity
