Diversity, Inclusion and Equity

The FUS Moving Toward Equity Team defines “diversity” as being “comprised of the differences that make each of us unique including gender, age, appearance, race, ethnic group, family/marital status, language, culture, sexual orientation, disability, religion, education, country of origin, political affiliation, social/economic status and more.”

What personal and lived experiences do you have related to diversity, inclusion and equity?

Using the definition above (diversity is much more than “race”), share aspects of your individual diversity that might add to the diversity of the FUS Boards or Nominating Committee

What else, not clearly asked above, would you like to include in your application?
