Diversity Equity and Inclusion Statement.

Leadership Lancaster is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable community of leaders that reflects the richness of Lancaster County. We believe that effective leadership is rooted in openness, curiosity, and respect for all people and perspectives. We intentionally seek and welcome participants from all backgrounds and lived experiences, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, age, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, national origin, socioeconomic background, religious belief, physical and mental ability, and veteran status. We expect all participants to engage in respectful dialogue, seek to understand, and commit to creating space for learning, reflection, and growth. By doing so, we strengthen our collective capacity to lead with empathy and respond to the evolving needs of our community. We recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion work is ongoing. As such, Leadership Lancaster continues to listen, learn, and evolve to ensure that every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
