IAGLR advances understanding of the world's great lake ecosystems

Statement on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

IAGLR is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment. Our vision is of a peaceful world in which large lake ecosystems are valued and healthy; where these ecosystems inspire curiosity, awe, love and respect, and stewardship from all people. To achieve this vision, IAGLR is committed to a membership and leadership that reflects the diversity of all IAGLR constituencies by ensuring that our community provides a welcoming and inclusive environment with regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, and disability. We pledge to broaden participation by recruitment and outreach to individuals from diverse backgrounds and strive to remove the barriers to career progression at all stages of professional development.
