Expectation Statement

Efficiency Exchange unequivocally denounces the recent events of racial harassment that occurred in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the original site of this year’s conference, now taking place in Spokane, Washington. Such behavior goes against our alliance’s core values of inclusivity, respect, and equity. The EFX Team wants to make it clear that there is zero-tolerance for any discrimination, harassment or bullying regarding race, sex, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, beliefs, and geographic or socio-economic background. We welcome the diversity of our community and are committed to fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all attendees.

Moving forward, we reaffirm our commitment to better understanding and growing our role in combatting racism and discrimination of all forms in the communities in which we live and work. We are committed to understanding how we all can contribute to addressing inequities and inherent bias to ensure that our industry is advancing equity and inclusion through its work.
