At NAVPLG, we believe that everyone deserves equitable rights, opportunities, and recognition, and that true inclusion goes beyond representation to foster a sense of belonging. Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEAI&B) reflects our dedication to creating a just and empowering environment where all members, volunteers, and partners can thrive.

We aim to:

  • Foster a Just and Equitable Association: Build an organizational foundation rooted in fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that our leadership, membership, and initiatives reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
  • Promote a Sense of Belonging: Create an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and genuinely included. We are committed to ensuring that members and volunteers feel not just welcomed, but integral to our shared mission and success.
  • Celebrate Authenticity and Growth: Cultivate a culture where individuals are encouraged to bring their whole selves—embracing their unique experiences, perspectives, and identities—and are supported in expanding their leadership and professional capacities.
  • Expand Member Eligibility to Reflect Diversity: Welcome individuals from all backgrounds, roles, and levels of experience within volunteer engagement, ensuring that our membership reflects the full spectrum of diversity in public service and volunteer leadership.
  • Expand Access to Resources and Opportunities: Remove barriers to professional development, tools, and support systems, ensuring that all individuals have equitable access to resources that help them contribute meaningfully and succeed.

By integrating belonging into our DEAI principles and fostering inclusive membership eligibility, we affirm that inclusion must be accompanied by connection, opportunity, and mutual respect. Together, we can create a stronger, more united association where everyone feels they truly belong and can make a lasting impact.
