Full Participation

Full participation involves creating the conditions enabling people of all races and genders to thrive, succeed, and advance, as well as participate meaningfully in the institutions defining membership in the polity and economy.   Under conditions of full participation, individuals and groups realize their capabilities as they understand them and are empowered to exercise voice in their institutions and communities.  Achieving this goal requires a critical assessment of the barriers to access and full participation at the various institutional locations that shape inclusion and advancement.
