Defining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The League offers a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that is welcoming to all who are drawn to our mission and wish to make a positive impact.
DEI Lens

A DEI lens is a way of examining a program, a process, a product, etc with regards to how it is perceived by a variety of communities, voices, and perspectives, and what, if any, barriers may exist that is preventing it from being equitable or inclusive of everyone.

Our Priorities

Guide

In an effort to assist all members in embracing this commitment to DEI we want to educate, enlighten, and provoke discussion around this topic. The following is a guide to DEI materials we feel are most relevant to this goal. It consists of internal resources created by LWV members and staff and external sources recommended by the LWVUS DEI Committee. 

Modules

The purpose of these modules is to take a deeper look at the topics we’ve been having conversations and trainings around over the past year and provide resources and skills that League members can use.

Webinars

LWVUS hosts a monthly webinar on DEI. This page includes a recording of those webinars and other resources.

Success Stories

Series of spotlights on Leagues that are doing DEI work with recommendations on how other Leagues can do the same kind of work. 

Other Resources

The League offers a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that is welcoming to all who are drawn to our mission and wish to make a positive impact.
