Purpose

The Employee Forum Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strives to ensure diversity, equity, and inclusion matters of all employees— particularly those in marginalized communities— are addressed and at the forefront of the work of the Employee Forum. We operate under the principle that equity means leveling the playing field by providing resources and opportunities for underrepresented groups, with the understanding that creating equity allows everyone an opportunity to have a seat at the table, which promotes inclusion. This committee seeks to put those principles into practice by advocating for enhanced hiring practices, equal pay, and protecting those who are most vulnerable. We believe this will contribute to the flourishing of diversity across the Carolina community, thus empowering all employees to create a more just, caring, and equitable community for all.
