  • Leadership Lancaster recognizes and values the diversity inherent in the community we serve.

We welcome those who share this commitment and who wish to join with us in our work to develop effective leaders who collaborate to serve the evolving needs of our community. Across all areas within our organization, from our board of directors and programs to our committees, Leadership Lancaster is inclusive of everyone in our community. This includes but is not necessarily limited to age, race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, family or domestic partnership or marital status, genetic predisposition, level of ability, religion, and veteran status. We promote, model, and expect respectful dialogue in all of our programs.
