You can take action to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in your club:
- Invite local diversity, equity, and inclusion experts to speak to your club. Connect with organizations that support DEI efforts, and work with them on projects or events.
- Seek out new voices when you're making appointments and encourage people who have been underrepresented in these roles to take on leadership positions.
- Hold conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. Acknowledge that this can be uncomfortable and very personal. Establish the expectation that these conversations will allow everyone opportunities to learn and to be heard and will remain respectful.
- Create a club DEI committee that reflects the demographics of your community and works with residents to identify collaborative learning, sharing, and service opportunities.
