About the CAC

OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & ACCESSIBILITY

CAC IS COMMITTED to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for its staff, volunteers and visitors. We recognize and value the unique life experience that every individual brings to our organization, and the need to include and reflect diverse voices in CAC content and programming, especially those from historically excluded populations. We will uphold this commitment starting from within, by:

• Building a culture of accountability and sharing, with opportunities for self-reflection.
• Educating ourselves about BIPOC histories, systemic racism, implicit bias and the need to adopt anti-racist actions.
• Creating brave spaces for staff to safely discuss thoughts and feelings about injustice, micro-aggressions or prejudiced behavior in constructive ways.
• Seeking to remove barriers to the recruitment, retention, and advancement of talented staff and volunteers from historically excluded populations who are currently underrepresented.
• Pursuing external input and feedback to incorporate inclusion into CAC’s strategic plan and organizational, departmental, and individual performance goals.
