The Membership Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee's mission is to create awareness around the value of diversity and an atmosphere of inclusivity within our membership.

This platform provides a space for our industry to stay relevant and healthy by fostering collaboration from a diverse group of contributors, thus producing creative solutions and the identification of more opportunities for members.

We look forward to your active participation in this initiative. If we can reduce our unconscious biases and provide equal access to opportunities and resources, our industry will continue to thrive.
