STEP 1: ENCOURAGE YOUR COMMITTEE TO BECOME MORE INCLUSIVE
Gaining support from your committee for LGBTIQ+ inclusion is important. This support is crucial to long term success and meaningful change. Here are some practical ways to start the conversation with your committee on how to become a more inclusive club.
START BY TALKING TO ONE OR TWO COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Start by asking one or two people on your committee, “How can we create safer and more welcoming environments for members of the LGBTIQ+ community?”
It’s okay not to know all the answers. As you start a conversation, research, and reach out to find out answers to questions you still have.
DISCUSS INCLUSION AT YOUR COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Take action to make this a full committee discussion – consider adding it as a standing agenda item to your meetings.
