CommunityImpactBuilding Bridges
Our staff has taken two actions to make our Diversity and Inclusion Statement of Principle a part of our daily work.

Fist, staff participated in what was titled Coffee with a Colleague. This gave individuals the opportunity to invite a team member out to coffee to learn from one another about their role in the organization, and who they are personally.

Our team is in the beginning stages of participating in a No Guilt Book Club. Staff were presented with numerous book choices and voted on what book they were most interested in reading. This brought the selection down to three books, resulting in three book clubs being formed. Below are the three books by title and author. Click here to read a synopses on each book.
  1. Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot
  2. The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander
  3. No More Heroes: Grassroots Challenges to the Savior Mentality by Jordan Flaherty
Board members were asked - How does our Board build bridges?

Discussion answers to this question are documented in the March 2018 Board Meeting minutes.
