Annual Meeting Workshop # 1

Do you want to know more about the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force’s exciting new work? What exactly is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

To find out, you’ll want to participate in a webinar set for Monday evening, June 15, 2020 beginning at 6:15 p.m.

The League of Women Voters US laid out a vision for how the League can seek to remain a vital organization and network that focuses on engaging new members, embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and increasing participation. The LWV US commitment essentially states that DEI is central to the organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities, and policy makers in creating a more perfect democracy. The LWV Los Angeles began a process to review DEI intentionally for the organization. In October 2018, the League adopted a formal DEI policy, and a year later the Board of Directors approved the establishment of the DEI Task Force for the purpose of developing an action plan to promote DEI. The Action Plan identifies initial steps in key areas within the League that can strengthen DEI. Implementation of this plan will be a continuing process led by members, committees, staff, and the Board of Directors.

Join the DEI Task Force on a webinar, meet the members, and learn about the DEI Action Plan, including the Key Action Step Areas, recommended strategies for implementation, and how you can participate in Task Force activities
