District Governor's MessageDiversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Rotary International has asked that all Rotary Clubs in the world make a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Our District's responsibility is to communicate this request and offer to our Clubs the reasoning that favors this commitment.
Your District's newly established Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee has drafted the policy statement below for review and implementation by our Board of directors:
“Draft Rotary District 7230 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement
We believe that all people hold visible and invisible qualities that inherently make them unique.
We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, disability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, languages spoken, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs. We seek a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in which people from under-represented groups have greater opportunities to participate as members and leaders of our District and communities in our District.
Like Rotary International’s DEI Statement, we recognize that individuals from certain groups have historically experienced barriers to membership, participation, and leadership. Thus, to build a community and world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, we wholeheartedly commit to:
- Advance equity in all aspects of Rotary, including in our community partnerships, so that each person has the necessary access to resources, opportunities, networks, and support to thrive
- Be honest and transparent about where we are on our DEI journey as an organization, and continue to learn and do better
- Strive to create an inclusive culture where each person knows they are valued and belong
