Staff DEI Mission Statement

Our mission is to build the bridge between staff and leadership. This committee will recognize underrepresented voices within our department and examine policies and practices to close gaps to access opportunity and achievement. Our goal is to create a work culture where everyone feels welcomed and supported to achieve their greatest potential.

RAD Against Racism

RAD Against Racism is a place to come to share, listen, be seen, and be heard. We believe RAD Against Racism is a starting point in learning how we can help support and amplify people's voices.

RAD Against Racism is a forum with the intention & focus on the following three areas:

Awaken

We believe in sharing our experiences and stories to awaken us to the structural racism in our lives. We want to become aware of our people's experiences and support the process of becoming aware of our experiences.

Band & Bond

We believe in the power of alliance and supporting one another. We want to unite and support each other in building a community where we recognize that our collective perspective creates a voice more significant than any individual.

Dismantle

We believe we can dismantle elements of structural racism in our communities. Through being aware, by banding together and with intentional action, we will dismantle structures and systems that inherently support divisiveness and racism.
