Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

The WTS Greater Chicago Chapter Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee seeks to advance diversity, inclusion, and representation within WTS Greater Chicago. By serving as an internal resource and collaborating with other committees, we work to achieve these goals through regular programming. We define diversity as a feature of a mixed organization that provides a wide range of abilities, experience, knowledge, and strengths due to its heterogeneity in age, background, race, ethnicity, cognitive and physical abilities, gender identity and presentation, sexual orientation, political and religious beliefs, socioeconomic status and other attributes. Inclusion is the practice of valuing diversity and diverse perspectives. Representation refers to the ability of current and prospective members to see themselves represented within all levels of the Chapter.

We always welcome new members! To get involved with our committee, please send an email to one of our committee co-chairs, Monica Aziz and Christine Watley.
