Celebrating Diversity Month

April is Celebrate Diversity Month, a time to honor the unique cultures, backgrounds, and rich traditions that comprise our networks, workplaces, and society. Celebrating diversity not only boosts cultural awareness but most importantly opens the opportunity for us to be curious about one another and create spaces of inclusion where people feel valued.

It’s important to remember that diversity goes beyond external factors such as gender and race. There is a richness of diversity of thought, experience, and perspective that deserves to be recognized. By bringing together complex and diverse individuals, organizations and social environments can thrive because more perspectives are brought to the forefront where critical conversations can take place.

Promoting diversity within our personal and professional lives is instrumental in fostering an enriching environment for everyone. Through efforts to honor and celebrate diversity, our credit union movement has been shaped into one that strives to uphold financial wellbeing for all. Our movement is our people, and our movement is rooted in people helping all people.
