TEMPO Madison is committed to embodying diversity, equity, and inclusion as an organization representing membership from different backgrounds, businesses, industries, and professions. We live these values by embracing and celebrating individuals and ideas that represent and reflect all races, ethnicities, national origins, ancestries, citizenships, ages, sexual orientations, gender non-conforming traits, religions, military memberships, veteran statuses, and abilities, as well as all other dimensions of difference. We respect and value diverse experiences and will strive to ensure that all voices are heard and given equal value. In addition to committing to embracing these values within TEMPO Madison, we promote them outside the organization into the broader Madison community.

TEMPO Madison Board of Directors will exemplify and provide leadership on diversity, equity, and inclusion by committing to:

• Examine and address inequities within our policies, programs, and services and ensure transparency by communicating to appropriate constituents.
• Expand and commit to greater diversity within the Board of Directors, and membership, as well as our partners and vendors.
• Develop and offer DEI professional development opportunities for the Board of Directors, especially those newly appointed in board leadership roles, members and guests.
• Identify and advocate resources and programs for underrepresented members to ensure an equitable and inclusive, and rewarding experience.
