EDI is a priority at CCEM. CCEM believes that a diverse community of stakeholders greatly enhances our impact. CCEM uses an intentional approach to identify EDI priorities and goals. This Framework articulates our ambition and approach to EDI, with the inclusion of accessibility.
As part of the shared understanding of CCEM’s EDI journey, CCEM Management and Staff have developed a team culture statement to inform CCEM’s actions and milestones as outlined in this Framework. The culture statement was built with all Management and Staff, outlining the teams’ values and expectations. All members of CCEM will incorporate the values of the culture statement when interacting with community members.
Culture Statement: CCEM culture is built on mutual respect, clear and honest communication, and a commitment to excellence. We value collaboration, inclusivity, and equity, ensuring that every voice is heard and every perspective matters. We promote continuous learning to fuel innovative research and creative educational programs. We create a supportive environment where challenges are addressed together and where all community members belong.
