Diversity is a description of differences usually based on identities such as race, gender, sexual orientation, class or ability, etc. Inclusion is what an organization does with diversity to ensure individuals have the opportunity to fully participate. Inclusion intentionally promotes a sense of belonging where people’s inherent worth and dignity are recognized and their abilities, qualities and perspectives are leveraged for the collective good.

This is the decision of the organization, but I encourage the entire organization to participate and I hope to include your boards, councils, stakeholders, clients and the communities that you work in and work for.
