Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our Efforts

Through these efforts, we aim to influence and encourage an ecosystem for the open exchange of ideas and the ongoing pursuit of best practices.

• We have diversity requirements established for experts and contributors and we will continue to seek out diverse and BIPOC speakers for our events and programs that align with your training needs.
• Commit to inclusive, diverse, member-led, and profession-reflective Advisory Board.
• Ensure diverse representation among keynote speakers.
• Provide physically accessible space at events.
• Provide Kosher and Halal meals.
• Make private space available at our events for pumping parents.
• Make accessible and gender-neutral bathrooms available at our events.
• Make interpreters/live captioning available at our events.
• Actively avoid scheduling events during high holy days of all faiths.
• Commit to programming on DEI training and promoting best-in-class resources.

We encourage you to continually recommit to this work and hope you’ll explore a variety of resources to advance diversity, inclusion, and respect in your profession and in your communities!
