LCUL has partnered with DEI consultant Dima Ghawi to lead the organization’s efforts in increasing and elevating the resources available to affiliated credit unions that better align and coordinate with state-wide diversity policies and initiatives. Dima has a proven track record of championing diversity, equity, and inclusion in both the public and private sectors. Together, LCUL and Dima look to transform the behavior and mindset of teams, individuals, and leaders to help them best support diverse communities and employees.

No matter where you and your team are on its DEI journey, whether you’ve just begun ’or are looking for ways to make significant advancements, credit unions are encouraged to utilize the many resources included in our Path to Inclusion initiative:

Inclusive Support Within Reach

When it comes to inclusion, there is no destination; instead, DEI is a journey. Perhaps one of the strongest resources available, this hotline will offer tailored assistance with questions about strategy and DEI implementation. Dima will provide guidance to credit unions’ C-suite/HR professionals with their initiatives to develop, implement, and enhance a range of policies, programs, practices, and systems to improve and increase inclusion.
