Community agreements are collaboratively-developed documents outlining key values and guidelines for meetings and conferences or any space, online or face-to-face, where communities gather. Community agreements create an inclusive environment, and actively engage the community in which members from different backgrounds can all feel welcomed, safe, and supported. In the process of creating a community agreement values statement, a group can also build trust and begin normalizing honest discussions about organizational culture, harm, and other difficult topics.

With this agreement, LILi hopes to take steps toward making LILi a truly equitable organization and to uplift and welcome all members. Please see the Community Agreement below.
