Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Policy
LWV is an organization fully committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion in principle and in practice. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to the organization’s current and future success in engaging all individuals, households, communities, and policy makers in creating a more perfect democracy.
DEI is more than offering programs and events, but is a change within, with the DEI Lens being applied to all functions of the League. The LWVW DEI Committee will help us achieve that goal!
