The Diversity Toolkit is an ongoing project that is being developed by members of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee. The committee is working to add resources to this page for our members which can be accessed throughout the year. Resources are arranged by topic and additions are made throughout the year. If you have a resource that you would like to share, you can submit it to the committee for review by emailing diversity@nwacuho.org.
