Rotary International 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. In District 6270, a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force was created with the purpose to engage members through education and conversation to better understand the inherent worth and dignity of all. As Rotarians, we seek truth and fairness to all -- two tenets of our 4-Way Test of the things we think, say, and do. When we become advocates of the truth, we can achieve fairness for the LGBTQ community.
Your DEI Task Force is pleased to present "LGBTQ Equality – How to Be An Advocate for Inclusion". This session will provide an overview of the LGBTQ community, get us on the same page with language, and explain current LGBTQ protections. We will learn how to be LGBTQ advocates and what we can do in the workplace to foster inclusivity.
