We have added a page on our website: cabrillomusic.org/deib-statement where we will share our work to date, next steps we intend to take, and resources we are finding helpful. The work is ongoing, organic, and conversational, and we intend to maintain transparency and accountability as it evolves. With that spirit of transparency we offer a brief synopsis of recent work in support of our DEIB goals: • Intentionally engaging musicians, artists, and staff of greater diversity • Continued DEIB education and discussion for Board & Staff • Increasing Spanish language accessibility • Commitment to using our "DEIB Lens" in all aspects of our work • Focusing on financial equity including reducing travel costs for musicians We welcome your thoughts and questions, please feel free to contact us at any time: CABRILLOMUSIC.ORG/CONTACT-US DEIB STATEMENT ADMIN STAFF L-R: Sam, Fatima, Riley, Lyndsey, and Steph FESTIVAL STAFF JESSICA BOND House Manager CHRIS BUTLER Livestreaming Videography and I.A.T.S.E.
