EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER STATEMENT
By exemplifying broad representation throughout the institution, it is our goal to dissipate traditional lines of separation, enabling audiences, artists, staff, donors, and students to connect with those who are different from themselves. We believe that through that connection+mdash;both on stage and off+mdash;we can enrich all our lives, broaden our experience, open our minds, and achieve La Jolla Music Society+rsquo;s mission. We seek to create a working environment where everyone knows they are welcome and valued regardless of who they are or how they identify; where difference is encouraged; and where those differences help us learn from one another.
