DEIA

SNA is on a journey to reflect and learn more about diversity, equity, inclusion and access in the context of our engagement with members and employees. We acknowledge we have much learning and work to do as an organization in these areas. We are early in our journey and are still listening and learning about the experience of various groups. We are committed to increasing awareness and, as we gain actionable insights, we will make adjustments which incorporate the voices of the various communities we aim to reach.

Additionally, we remain committed to increase the representative diversity of our Board of Directors. Our focus is on increasing racial diversity as well as that of other school-district related attributes such as free/reduced percentage, district size and region/population center.
