Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee

Diversity comes in many forms, and one of the most diverse times of the year is the winter holiday season. Our hope is that by sharing diverse cultures, we widen our knowledge, appreciation, and mutual respect for our broader communities. Holiday celebrations and traditions share many things in common, such as togetherness and time with family and friends.
