Diversity, equity and inclusion

It's the foundation on which Diann Shaddox Foundation was built, and it remains at the core of everything we do.
At Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace is one where all, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability, feels valued and respected. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach and provide equal opportunity for all programs, and sites. We respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard.
​Inclusion and Diversity have been pillars of our global enduring values for a long time. While this pledge has a U.S. focus, it is rooted in our global values and many of the actions will be mirrored in other parts of the world. The commitment should be crystal clear: we will have a zero-tolerance policy for racial marginalization within the company, one that will regularly be communicated across the entire organization. 
​We do recognize racial inequality is a much broader societal issue with a long history. While our actions focus on our communities, we hope that these actions will have a ripple effect on society at large. 

For this type of pledge to be effective in bringing about meaningful change, the accountability begins with Diann Shaddox CEO of the Diann Shaddox Foundation for Essential Tremor and a Native American. All Board Members and Advisory Groups will be held accountable to help achieve the objectives we have set out. 
​
We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the entire nonprofit sector, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.
