To reflect the diversity of our musical community and further the mission of the AFM, the Canadian Diversity Committee, with the assistance of the AFM Diversity Committee, seeks to better represent our Canadian brothers and sisters, encourage a heightened degree of understanding and appreciation of our distinct membership, strengthen our relationships and our image in diverse communities and to promote understanding, tolerance and respect for those factors that make Canada a distinct society.
This will be accomplished by educational outreach, recruitment, officer training and increased leadership opportunities at all levels. The American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada is committed to creating an inclusive environment where diversity will be valued and celebrated; and where members, leadership, rank-and-file and staff will be inspired to contribute to the growth of the Federation. We envision our organization as one where the leadership reflects and affirms the diversity of our membership.
