Social Equity Task Force

Social Equity Task Force

District 7910’s Social Equity Task Force values a commitment to individual and club efforts, to build respect, dignity, fairness, caring, equality and self-esteem. 

A top priority for District 7910 is increasing and diversifying our membership to reflect the communities we serve, and that we are inclusive of all cultures, experiences, and identities. 

We're creating an organization that is more open and inclusive, fair to all, builds goodwill, and benefits our communities. 

To help us achieve our goal, Rotary International's Board of Directors has passed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement:

As a global network that strives to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
 
Rotary will cultivate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture in which people from underrepresented groups have greater opportunities to participate as members and leaders.
 
Making diversity, equity, and inclusion a priority is everyone's responsibility — from Rotary members to clubs, and to our district.
