This document discusses diversity and inclusion. It begins with a quote urging self-examination of one's views and positions. The goals are to listen to different perspectives of privileged and marginalized groups and understand how these differences affect attempts at consultation. While some feel diversity efforts have succeeded, others disagree and feel more work is needed for lasting solutions. Diversity is defined as celebrating differences, ensuring fairness by addressing issues like power and oppression, and helping in a way that doesn't diminish others' status. Exercises are presented to help individuals learn about themselves and each other.

Each of us is called upon to take a stand. So in these days ahead, as we examine ourselves and each other, our works, our fears, our differences, our sisterhood and survivals, I urge you to tackle what is most difficult for us all, self-scrutiny of our complacencies, the idea that since each of us believes she is on the side of right, she need not examine her position. – Audre Lorde
