The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) leadership team provides direction to the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina’s DEI services that promote our mission of helping all people reach their God-given potential in spirit, mind and body.
“I am proud to be part of an organization that values and reflects the rich diversity of the communities we serve. It is one of the few places where all people can come together. Our inclusion and equity efforts ensure that all feel the Christian principles of love, compassion, kindness and respect that we hold paramount in the Y experience. Each day, we provide a place where common ground nurtures belonging for people from all walks of life, allowing them to see the value in one another while discovering it in themselves.”
- Darryl Head, President and CEO
“To me, inclusion is creating an environment where all people have a voice at the table and belong in all levels of the organization.”
- Adam Cardwell, Associate Executive Director and DEI Chair
