The Legal Aid Society (the "Society") is devoted to promoting and valuing diversity in all aspects of the organization. Workforce diversity enables us to recruit, retain, promote, and tap the full potential of many employees making up the Society. It is the diversity of our workforce, and the broad range of individual characteristics, beliefs, and values of our staff that characterize our fundamental approach to delivering the best service to our clients. Diversity includes not only the areas of actual or perceived age, race, color, religion, disability, marital status, pregnancy, national origin and citizenship, gender, sex, sexual orientation, transgender status, veteran status, but also extends to personal history, work experiences, education, job function, job tenure, personality, geographic origin, ways of thinking, leadership ability, and skill level. It is with full recognition of the value that each person's individual experience and character brings to our workplace that we embrace diversity as one of the Society's core principles.
