As ILCMA members seek to better serve our diverse communities and create a more inclusive and welcoming association, the ILCMA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee is identifying and implementing concrete steps to move toward those goals. The committee’s membership is a broad representation of professionals at all levels of ILCMA member communities across the state. Since official formation in 2021, the committee’s achievements include:
