Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Community West Credit Union is committed to creating an environment where everyone belongs and feels welcomed, where everyone is empowered to bring their whole, authentic selves as meaningful contributors.

In June 2020, Community West established an internal Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) committee to implement initiatives that grow our understanding of diversity within the community and financial industry. The committee, formed to expand awareness and promote change, recommends, guides, and manages training opportunities, policies, and education initiatives for diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Since its conception, the DEI committee has organized diversity, equality, allyship, unconscious bias, and dis/ability training for all staff. In 2021, Community West adopted the expansion of protected classes for federal employers in the EEO, Anti-Harassment and Affirmative Action policies to include height, weight, familial status, marital status, sexual orientation, including transgender status, gender identity, or expression. Gender Expression and Anti-Bullying policies were also added to further support an inclusive work environment. Community West is committed to positive change, continued education, and being an ally to all.
