Utah Planned Giving Roundtable’s (UPGRT) Long-Term Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
We envision planned-giving as a field in which practitioners reflect the broad diversity of donors in our community and where the benefits of planned giving are made consistently accessible to all donors and the nonprofits they support.
We strive to incorporate our DEI commitment with the following action items:
· Review of Board of Directors and Committee selection procedures and term limits,
· Continuous and intentional seeking of individuals from diverse backgrounds to join the Board of Directors,
· Enhancing our outreach and engagement opportunities to a broader population of potential members and volunteers, and
· Conduct an annual review of our Bylaws and Procedures to ensure they continually meet our expectation of DEI.
