IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Access) Committee

The IDEA Committee advances and promotes inclusion, diversity, equity, and access within the local chapter as well as the greater philanthropic community. The IDEA committee sets goals and objectives to further IDEA work in our chapter and works to ensure the chapter meets AFP International’s IDEA Friends of Diversity designation.

Our chapter has met the Friends of Diversity designation for 5 years. We are committed to making sure our IDEA values are integrated into all aspects of our chapter’s work.
