The GLOBE Academy
DEI Committee Meeting (2021-2022)
Date and Time
Tuesday February 8, 2022 at 6:30 PM EST
Location
Virtual
In 2018, the Diversity Committee adopted a definition of diversity that represented GLOBE’s actual and aspirational values. At GLOBE we recognize that:
The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical and learning abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity contained within each individual.

It is in the spirit of this definition that the Diversity Committee will continue to make recommendations to the GLOBE Board of Directors and leadership on governance and policy issues involving matters of DEI.
