Cultivate, foster, transform and impact our membership and sphere of influence through promoting, teaching, and modeling our deep commitment to diversity, equality, and inclusion by:
Speaking out against racism and removing barriers to equality and inclusion in our membership participation and program offerings
Celebrating diversity as a means to highlight and showcase the contributions from underrepresented members, programs, and partnerships.
Our sincere intent is to be a true change agent by welcoming fresh perspectives, visibility, and concrete actions for the long term. The DEI committee will formulate and develop goals, priorities, and content related to:
Programs and Events – engaging and retaining participation from members of color by fostering inclusion and removing barriers of participation
Partners and Business relationships – seeking partnerships with established organizations supporting minority programs as well as reviewing and pursing business relationships with minority owned and operated businesses
Scholarship Offerings – provide financial scholarship support for minority candidates looking to pursue a public finance career
