Culture of Belonging Committee

Our region is diverse and full of individuals with a variety of experiences, talents, and identities, each with their own unique story. When we unite, we can pool together all our backgrounds to create something truly magical. Together, we are stronger! The Region 13 Culture of Belonging Committee (CoB) is dedicated to fostering a welcoming, inclusive, and respectful environment where every member and chapter feels seen, heard, and valued. We believe that a true sense of belonging comes from listening, learning, and supporting one another. Whether you have ideas to share, concerns to raise, or simply need someone to talk to, we are here for you. Our mission is to create space for open dialogue and meaningful connection -- because everyone deserves to feel like they belong. If you, your quartet or chorus would like to talk with, or have something to share with the Culture of Belonging Committee, send an email to [email protected] with your name and contact information and they will get back with you as soon as possible.
