PEMAC Access and Opportunity Policy

At PEMAC, our commitment to diversity and inclusion is foundational to who we are as an organization. In alignment with our core values, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where every member, volunteer, and employee is valued and respected as part of our collective community.

In our efforts to build and maintain this inclusive culture, PEMAC’s focus is on the community as a whole, ensuring that our organization is a place where everyone, irrespective of their background or identity, feels welcome to participate, contribute, and thrive.  PEMAC upholds the principle that no individual will be highlighted or celebrated based on gender, race, sexual orientation, or any other personal attributes.

PEMAC commits to:

  • Implementing and promoting policies and practices that are grounded in the principles of fairness, equality, and mutual respect. We aim to create an environment that is free from discrimination and bias, where the individual merits and contributions of each person are the basis for recognition and advancement.
  • Encouraging participation and involvement from all members of our community, recognizing that the strength of our association lies in our diversity and the collective contribution of our members.
  • Ensuring our programs, events, and initiatives are designed to be inclusive and accessible to all, reflecting our commitment to embracing the full spectrum of diversity within our association.

Our policy is a declaration of our belief in the power of community and the value of each individual within it. PEMAC is dedicated to upholding these principles in all aspects of our operations. We believe that by working together as a unified community, we can achieve our shared goals and foster a more inclusive and equitable community.

Diversity and Inclusion: The HR committee is tasked with fostering a workplace culture that values and respects every individual equally. Our commitment is to create an environment where differences are neither the focus nor celebrated for any particular group. This encompasses developing and implementing HR policies and practices dedicated to promoting an atmosphere of mutual respect and equal opportunity. We ensure fair treatment for all employees, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, skin color, or any other personal attributes or backgrounds. Our goal is to maintain a workspace where diversity is acknowledged as a strength, and inclusion is practiced universally, ensuring everyone has the same opportunities to thrive.
