Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB)
By diversifying our friendships and expanding our worldviews, we form treasured relationships that strengthen communities.
Dallas Cotillion Club encourages all active members to interact and discuss new ideas through shared interests and the exploration of new ones. In doing so, we seek to empower women of all ages, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, physical abilities, and backgrounds while holding every member accountable for supporting the dignity of all women.
To support this commitment, Dallas Cotillion Club maintains a DEIB Chair to foster productive conversations that expand members’ worldviews and help ensure belonging is actively experienced by every member of Dallas Cotillion Club.
Every member of Dallas Cotillion Club deserves a seat at the table.
If there isn’t one, we build a better table.
