AEOE INCLUSIVITY VALUE STATEMENT
Approved by AEOE Board 30 April 2006

We value each person and his/her unique contributions to society.  Those contributions are derived from diverse backgrounds and experiences related to race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, age, national origin, socio-economic status, religious affiliation, language, and heritage.  It is this diversity that strengthens our community and broadens our perspectives. 

We intentionally embrace all stakeholders in the AEOE mission, and seek to act as allies for those whose voices are not being heard. 

We believe in the inherent dignity of all humans and that each person should have equal access to a safe, healthy environment and equitable education.

We support and promote the ideals of multiculturalism, equity, justice and sustainability.
