DIVERSITY & INCLUSION MISSION STATEMENT 

Spinnaker Chorus combines many voices that are different from one another.  We embrace and encourage our members’ individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, self expression, unique capabilities and talent. Your uniqueness is our chorus strength, reputation and achievement.

We respect freedom of expression and civility of discourse as fundamental to personal and Chorus growth.  We are committed to non-discriminatory practices and policies which provide equal opportunity for all members regardless of age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, political affiliation, education or socio-economic status.

 To uphold our diversity, inclusion and equality goals, Spinnaker Chorus strives to:

 

• Lead with respect and tolerance.
• Inspire Change.
• Encourage dialogue with members about what diversity, inclusion and equality/equity mean to them and the Chorus
• Provide opportunities to share information and challenge assumptions about inclusiveness.
• Foster a culture of open-mindedness and compassion among individuals and groups.
• Develop relationships and pool resources by connecting with individuals and other organisations to co-ordinate D&I efforts.
