2015 Diversity Goals
• As part of the strategic planning process, develop and implement a plan designed to increase the diversity of your chapter’s membership, program offerings and engagement opportunities. This strategy could include:
> Collection and analysis of chapter demographics to identify areas of
opportunity.
> Conduct a survey or focus groups with segments of your chapter membership to determine how to best attract, engage and retain diverse members.
> Hold at least one program or workshop on the topic of diversity and inclusion.

2015 Diversity Goals
In conjunction with your succession planning process, develop a multi-year strategy to better diversify your chapter/state council board through:
- engagement of young professionals, minorities and other identified segments
- exploration of potential partnership opportunities with external, diversity-focused community groups
- increased board education on the importance and definition of diversity
- establishment of a diversity committee to focus on diversity and inclusion issues and collaborate with the board to incorporate diversity and inclusion into the chapter/state council’s annual goals and objectives.
