ICF Minnesota Anti-discriminatory Statement 


The ICF Minnesota is committed to equal opportunity 
and does not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, national origin, race/color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by state and federal law.



What is diversity? 

 

It means understanding that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual differences.

WHY FOCUS ON DIVERSITY?


Diversity is a reality. Diversity transitioned from being an obligatory politically correct buzzword to a reality for the future. (Census Data)

Why is there a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice & Belonging Team? 

The DEIJB team was started as a response to identify and champion all people in our community of coaching. To have the representation of the ICF reflect the community we serve.
