Self-Certification Promise of Belonging and Equity

As a member of the Diversity Hiring Coalition of Maine, I affirm my commitment to advancing equitable, inclusive, and bias-free hiring practices across our state. I pledge to foster environments where belonging, understanding, and support are not just values—but actions.

I promise to approach this work with kindness, empathy, and compassion, while considering everyone and supporting everyone—regardless of background or identity. I will promote representation, accessibility, and freedom in the workplace and beyond.

I commit to acting with patience, being considerate, and practicing listening that leads to true understanding. I will uphold equity, access, and inclusion as essential principles, and I will embrace every opportunity to create spaces that are welcoming and without bias.

As a member of this coalition, I take responsibility for helping to build a stronger, more inclusive Maine—where every individual is seen, heard, and empowered.
