Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Policy

The Trustees of the Houston Museum of Decorative Arts are committed to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all and modeling diversity, inclusion, and equity. To enhance its commitment and provide informed leadership on cultural equity, the Trustees have adopted the following goals and action items.

The Trustees will strive to:

· See diversity, equity, and inclusion in connection with our vision and mission for the benefit of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and patrons;

· Recognize and address inequities in our policies, programs, and services;

· Investigate underlying assumptions that may interfere with our diversity policy;

· Challenge commonly accepted ideas about what constitutes strong leadership within the staff and board;

· Create and support programming to help expand more diversity within our board, staff, volunteers, advisors, and advisory committees;

· Create a system to address biases during the recruiting, hiring, and evaluation processes;

· Train leadership to be responsible for training staff and volunteers on equitable practices;

· Practice and encourage transparent communications in interactions with all stakeholders;

· Develop and present programming on cultural competency, diversity, equity, and inclusion to provide information and resources to our board, employees, and volunteers;

· Expand offerings for underrepresented constituents by connecting with other arts or arts focused organizations committed to diversity and inclusion efforts; and

· Respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages to help ensure that all stakeholders are heard and valued.
