DIVERSITY STATEMENT

 

The United Way of Chesterfield County strives to create and maintain an organizational environment which enables all people to perform to their potential by actively valuing different backgrounds and perspectives, fostering teamwork and collaboration among a heterogeneous community, and maximizing contributions by using the skills, talents and resources of all members of our community.

 

Our Value Defined

The United Way of Chesterfield County advocates and promotes diversity among its Board, staff, agencies, volunteers, programs, services, donors, suppliers and partners.  Managing diversity offers a different set of challenges and opportunities than affirmation action, or race relations.  Diversity goes far beyond race and gender.  It addresses the reality of life.  Diversity recognizes the distinct differences of individuals and organizations and capitalizes on the strengths of each.
