Diversity and Inclusion Commitment Statement:
The Junior League of Beaumont welcomes all women who value our Mission. We are committed to inclusive environments of diverse individuals, organizations, and communities.
What it means to the JLB:
The Association of Junior Leagues International condemns discrimination, racism, and racial injustice in our communities and within our Junior Leagues. Black women and other women of color have been systemically denied equity and inclusion in our economy, education, civic privileges, and responsibilities in the voluntary sector, including in The Junior League.
As affirmed by our member Junior Leagues, we are accelerating our efforts to take action and advance definitive, measurable policies and practices that work to eliminate racism in our countries, our communities, and our Junior Leagues. When we do this, we unlock tremendous power for our communities and realize our vision of women around the world as catalysts for lasting change.
The JLB endeavors to lead by example by encouraging positive change in our society and identifying common ground where the community can come together while celebrating differences. We recognize the beauty in diversity and embrace a variety of perspectives within our community.
The JLB is committed to partnering with other organizations, which are working owards empowering underrepresented populations and seek to eliminating injustices. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are an integral part of the JLB, and our members remain committed to driving meaningful, lasting change in our community
Sincerely,
JLB Board of Directors
