IWCF believes diversity encompasses the whole human experience: gender, race, culture, education, personality, skills, life experiences, and more. It is everything in each person’s life experience that results in unique perspectives and equips us to meet our mission. Inclusion is the critical link that enables our diverse membership to come to life, helping to unleash the power of our differences. Fostering a culture within IWCF that actively seeks and celebrates diverse backgrounds will help us to better understand, connect with, and serve our community.
