The purpose of the DICE committee is to live into and promote the guiding principles.

We will foster an inclusive environment and strive to acknowledge our biases that influence current culture. We will challenge inequities and create equal opportunities for all to connect, belong and grow. We will strive to create a safe space where everyone is accepted for their authentic selves and feels valued for their contributions to the CLTH mosaic.

Objective
