During the summer of 2018, a small group gathered to discuss the definition of “diversity and inclusion.” Our thoughts became a vision that encompassed a comprehensive representation of all viewpoints.  Hence, the rise of the Advocates for Balance at Chautauqua that has become a dynamic movement.

We believe in intellectual curiosity and have the desire to hear all points of view and perspectives. We welcome discussions that offer honest and civil debate.  We rise to the challenge of listening, especially when the message may test one's current beliefs or understandings. This is how we become educated. We want others to have their voices heard, and respected such that nobody is marginalized or made to feel unwelcome.

 We have made substantial progress with many Chautauquans who share this vision and have supported our group (over 600 and growing!!!).  We invite you to be part of this exciting endeavor!  Click on the link above entitled "Join" for more information about participating with us. We extend a warm welcome!
