DVI Diversity Statement
"In a willing effort to support CEC's Diversity Vision of "creating an inclusive culture where people of great diversity share the common value of
advancing the educational outcomes of exceptional outcomes of exceptional children", DVI has
established parameters to facilitate the mission.
DVI will channel their efforts through governance,
recruitment and retention, publications, nominations and awards. Governance incorporates representation of diverse groups among the membership including Officers and Committee Chairs.
DVI will identify board members to represent matters of diversity. Recruiting and retaining members from diverse backgrounds will continue to be
an ongoing goal for DVI. Supporting the ideology
of an organizational culture which values diversity
among its membership will ultimately serve as a
mirror for creating effective educational strategies
and outcomes for children who are blind or visually impaired, including those with multiple disabilities."
