Vision
The Diversity Task Force has identified the following vision statement for the Olmsted community related to diversity:
Our community will provide a safe, non-discriminating environment with respect and opportunity for all.
This statement embodies the concept that diversity involves the entire community and has elements that include race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation and age.
To achieve this vision, we have defined three objectives that must be met:
- Focus the community's attention on diversity
- Eliminate the suspicion and fear resulting from negative stereotypes and promote positive inter-racial awareness.
- Provide increase opportunities for everyone and enable all people to fully participate in the social, educational, economic and civic life of the community.
