Nondiscrimination and Accessibility Policy

Nondiscrimination Statement

LCFRB believes everyone, without exception, has a right to live, work, and recreate with equal opportunity, respect, and dignity, in safe, welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environments, free from unlawful bias, discrimination, and harassment.

LCFRB is committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, which means complying with laws that prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin (including language), sex, age, mental or physical ability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and economic status. You therefore may request reasonable accommodation to access programs, services, or activities, such as printed materials in alternative formats, website accessibility, and PDF document conversion.
