About us

Strategy

Our strategic goals focus on building capacity and strengthening impact

As a non-profit organization, our bottomline isn’t profits. It’s impact. Our 2019-2023 strategic goals focus on both on achieving sustainability as an organization and on extending our influence.

Mission

The Regional Diversity Roundtable is committed to being a leader in supporting organizations and institutions to be diverse and equitable to provide services that are fair, inclusive and culturally appropriate.

Vision

To promote respect and equity within organizations and institutions for an inclusive and harmonious community.

We encourage stakeholders to recognize, respect, and embrace each individual’s diversity and believe that by working together we can move from the acknowledgment of diversity to the institutionalization of diversity in our respective core values, structures, workforce, procedures and guidelines enabling an environment that is supportive, accessible, and equitable in its practices.
