Diversity Equity and Inclusion Committee

This committee aims to evaluate and consider ways to develop membership and leadership in ways that reflect the demographic makeup of emerging markets in the community and help members position themselves to sell to those markets. Its mission is to build a more substantial presence in the community, particularly in neighborhoods with high concentrations of foreign-born and other minority residents moving up the socioeconomic ladder and buying homes.

If you're interested in joining this committee, please complete the application/request form. The committee staff liaison will contact you soon to give you more information.

What is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?

Diversity is the presence of differences that may include race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment, or political perspective. Populations that have been-and remain- underrepresented among practitioners in the field and marginalized in the broader society.

Equity promotes justice, impartiality, and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems. Tackling equity issues requires understanding the root causes of outcome disparities within our society.

Inclusion is an outcome to ensure those that are diverse actually feel and/or are welcome. Inclusion outcomes are met when you, your institution, and your program are truly inviting to all. To the degree to which diverse individuals are able to participate fully in the decision-making processes and development opportunities within an organization or group.
