Diversity, Equality, Accessiblity, and Inclusion

The Diversity, Equality, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEA&I) Committee works to put into action the RCMQG's commitment inclusion, equity, and justice as outlined in our guild values in our bylaws.  

In our bylaws, we specifically commit to:
  • Creating a brave, accepting space by treating all with dignity and respect, pursuant to our commitment to inclusion;
  • Holding ourselves and others accountable by addressing inequity and injustice, including microaggressions, in our community; and 
  • Creating purposeful opportunities for participation of under-represented groups through such avenues as
    •    membership recruitment
    •     speaking and teaching opportunities
    •     community engagement activities; and 
  • Creating and promoting opportunities for our membership to act on these shared values.
As we evolve, listen, and grow as a community, we will strive to be allies for justice. 

The DEAI committee works to put these into practice by:
  • collecting and responding to reports of behavior that violates our community standards.  Reports may be made here:  RCMQG DEAI Reporting and Recommendations Form, emailed to rocketcitydeai@gmail.com, or discussed with a trusted member of the leadership team. These reports are kept private to the greatest degree possible, with survey responses and direct email communication to rocketcitydeai@gmail.com being viewable only by Danica Pruett. 
  • collecting and responding to member feedback 
  • proposing actions the guild can take and changes the guild can implement
  • working with other guild leadership to implement those actions and changes
  • creating opportunities for our membership to act on these values within the guild
  • keeping the guild informed of opportunities in the larger quilting community to act on these values


If you have any questions or would like to join the DEA&I committee, please reach out to the DEAI Committee Chair.
