At its June meeting, the RI Board of Directors, with guidance from the DEI Taskforce, took additional steps to ensure our organization values and lives the principals of diversity, equity and inclusion by revisiting and strengthening Rotary’s 2019 DEI statement. The result is a new Commitment to Diversity Equity and Inclusion adopted in June 2021.
The full statement acknowledges the systematic barriers to Rotary membership, participation, and leadership that have been experienced by some people. RI makes a commitment to be honest about our DEI journey and to continue to learn and do better.
