DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

United Way of McMinn & Meigs Counties DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

UWMM fosters and maintains an environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are valued and upheld in all of the work that we do.  We affirm the value of human diversity because it enriches our lives and our organizations.  We acknowledge and respect our differences while affirming our common humanity.

UWMM encourages all individuals to embrace diversity.  We work diligently to treat everyone with the utmost care and compassion, honoring the human rights of every individual.

UWMM collaborates with our community to ensure everyone has equitable access to the resources, support, opportunities, and networks they need to thrive.

UWMM fosters an inclusive, healthy, and strong community where everyone feels valued and empowered.

UWMM seeks to engage the entire community in our work without regard to race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, age, gender identitiy and expression, disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, familial status, or socio-economic status.  That commitment will be reflected in all aspects of United Way's work - service delivery, staffing, and/or volunteer participation.

We pledge our collective commitment to incorporate these principles into United Way of McMinn & Meigs Counties' mission and strategic plan.
