Diversity Matters

HHL writes and maintains a blog where people can speak out about a current diversity or equity topic. You can always find a link to the blog here .

AAUW first adopted a policy about diversity in 1988.  In principle and in practice, AAUW values and seeks an inclusive membership, workforce, leadership team, and board of directors. There shall be no barriers to full participation in this organization on the basis of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, geographical location, national origin, race, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

AAUW HHL Branch supports this policy and gives you a chance to speak out about diversity and social justice on our Diversity Blog.  Each month there is a new topic. Check back often.
