LWV Palo Alto DEI Committee

Implementing DEI strategies will promote the growth of our members as well as our membership. Our League and DEI Committee are fully committed to applying a DEI Lens to our work and operations. A DEI lens is a way of examining a program, process, etc., to understand how it is perceived by a variety of communities, voices, and perspectives, in order to identify and eliminate any barriers that might prevent the equity and inclusion of everyone.

If you are interested in joining the DEI Committee and helping with this important work, please contact The Board.
