Are you passionate about creating sustained change within the IAAP community and committed to creating a diverse and inclusive IAAP culture?

IAAP insists on justice, inclusivity, diversity, and equity. IAAP is a community where intolerance of any kind is unacceptable, and the association will not allow it to prevail within any level of the community. It’s time to be uncomfortable and have the difficult conversations.

If you are ready to create change and ensure every single person experiences belonging within the IAAP community, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is a great fit for you. DEI members must understand the critical link between DEI and the association’s strategic priorities. Its members must prioritize diversity and demonstrate a visible commitment to practicing equity and inclusion.
