Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee
The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee (DE&I)’s vision is to advance the society’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion within the energy community through awareness, collaboration and encouragement.
Our mission is to maintain and expand upon SPWLA’s ethos of being a society supported by people who are open-minded, accepting, non-judgmental and willing to embrace humans of all kinds. We all become who we are through genetics and experiences. There are some diversities inherited unto us that we can’t control and others we can. Regardless of what a human chooses to be, or relate or identify as, it is incumbent upon their peers to strive to not judge; to be colleagues who set an example of an accepting culture where we all have room for growth and to shine; to raise people up and support our diverse backgrounds, experiences and identities; to create a safe environment and platform where everyone feels welcome, accepted, celebrated and can freely share without fear.
By promoting diversity, equity, equality, and inclusion, we can create a more just and equitable society where everyone has an opportunity to thrive.
