Resolution: July 14, 2022
\nAccepted: July 20, 2022<\/p>\n

Preamble<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LPI believes that Diversity should be inclusive of all characteristics and experiences that define each of us as unique individuals, while acknowledging those differences.<\/p>\n

Diversity includes (but is not limited to) race, gender, sex, ethnicity, age, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, communication style, work style, socio-economic status, political orientation so people can truly be themselves, fostering an inclusive culture and promoting real justice.<\/p>\n

We know that a diverse community is a strong community. Diversity includes different points of view, backgrounds, and experiences. Diversity drives innovation through a more collaborative environment. \u00a0Acceptance of diversity understands and welcomes everyone. That is why LPI is committed to supporting and creating such a community across our entire worldwide organization and membership.<\/p>\n

LPI commits to provide an inclusive, equal, and equitable environment for its community. With these efforts, we will better understand the community \u2014their needs, restrictions, fears, and feelings\u2014 allowing us to help the community progress in their careers.<\/p>\n

Any practical application of this definition must take into consideration the population to which it\u2019s applied. All DEI goals for LPI are two-fold. First, the goal is to be diverse relative to the specific community population in question. Second, the diversity of that LPI population can be \u201cleveled up\u201d to match the diversity of the overall population.<\/p>\n

LPI aims to \u201ccontinually do better\u201d rather than let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Therefore our DEI goals are relative and evident by the negative than by arbitrary predefined numbers:<\/p>\n

For example, we believe that inclusive groups normally match the population from which they are drawn and are therefore not all:<\/p>\n
