Our Chapter's Diversity Mission Statement:

"Diversity is the seeking and achieving of a broad representation of experiences, perspectives, opinions and cultures within the Hampton Roads community.  Inclusiveness is an essential source of vitality and strength for the effective pursuit of an organization’s mission."

"We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion."
