Chapter Success Series: Resources
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Infographic
Throughout the success series, the National Advisors for Chapters (NAC) took time to highlight some DEI resources. We want chapters to use DEI as a lens to view chapter operations. Think about why DEI should be a priority for your chapter. Our chapters represent a diverse group of talent development professionals with different perspectives and needs. When we address these in our chapter operations to give everyone a voice, we are able to make a positive impact that helps create a world that works better.
