Anti-Discrimination policies
Anti-Discrimination Policy for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
We work to create an environment that is non-discriminatory, inclusive and promotes equity and diversity among those we serve and for whom we advocate. We pledge to be open to discussions with strategic partners to eliminate racism and other forms of discrimination where it might exist in our service area and within our organization, understanding that it is a process of both education and movement.
With regard to employment: It is the policy of this corporation to employ the best qualified applicants available to fill staff vacancies. Gender, race, color, national origin or ancestry, age religion, political affiliation, physical or mental handicap, sexual orientation and marital status should not be considered cause for rejection or approval of an applicant. This includes termination, promotion, disciplinary action, benefits, pay or any other employment practices. The M.O.T. Senior Center adheres to equal opportunity principals and discrimination will not be tolerated.
Service population: This policy is extended to non-discrimination for the people we serve. This policy extends to membership at the center and therefore, no senior will be discriminated against as they require services.
Our board of directors: We intend to be reflective of the people we serve within the scope of our by-laws (must live in or work in the M.O.T. area) and have those on our board advocate for the entire population we serve and mange the manner in which we serve them. Again, we strive to fill vacancies on the board as they arise with skill sets needed to enhance the overall implementation of the business of the center.
