Diversity Disclosure: The IAAP Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of IAAP, including through standing committees. To ensure a dynamic and inclusive association that is relevant to supporting the administrative profession, and one that can effectively uphold IAAP’s core purpose, it is imperative that diverse committees lead the organization. As part of the nominating process, committee diversity is to be evaluated across several criteria: professional expertise, knowledge, abilities, and perspectives, as well as ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic background, age, and other dimensions of diversity. Consideration should also be given to individuals who bring intersectional perspectives, ensuring the board reflects the diverse lived experiences of our community. Our commitment to diversity is complemented by a focus on equity, ensuring all committee members have the opportunity to contribute and lead.
