Growing Our Class with DEI

Dan Fien argues that the Thistle Class needs a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Committee to actively address the lack of demographic diversity within the organization. He points out that approximately 95% of Thistle owners and skippers are non-Hispanic white males, despite this group representing only 30% of the US population. Fien proposes establishing a subcommittee to develop best practices and initiatives to overcome the sport's historic reputation of exclusivity and make opportunities more accessible to underrepresented populations.
