Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion
JEDI Committee Mission
It is the mission of the JEDI Committee to ensure the principles of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion are represented in all aspects of CSI Portland, and for our chapter to serve as a welcome and respectful place for everyone, regardless of race, nationality, age, gender, religion, ability, or opinion. We seek to inform and educate in order to better support underserved groups through outreach, connections, and open dialogue.
