ACCP remains dedicated to creating and sustaining a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). The organization’s work on DEIA began in 2020, with the initial 2021 Strategic Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Plan published in September 2021 and the 2023 Strategic Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Plan published in November 2023. Over the past 3 years, ACCP members and PRNs have driven significant changes within the organization to enhance inclusion and increase representation. Has your PRN implemented a new policy, process, or practice aimed at DEIA? ACCP is seeking best practice examples to share with other PRN leaders. Please submit a summary of your efforts to [email protected] if you are willing.

As a reminder, the ACCP Value Filters and DEIA educational module are available to each member within their individual accp.com account. The value filters support decision-making in the context of ACCP’s core values – including the commitment to diversity and inclusion. The educational module provides data derived from ACCP’s baseline DEIA assessment as well as content on foundational DEIA principles in the context of these data. In addition, each member is encouraged to complete the Demographics section of their profile. This information is held confidential and is only used to allow ACCP to measure progress toward DEIA goals. Finally, ACCP has created a central location for interested members to review a comprehensive and frequently updated progress report. This report includes all objectives from both DEIA plans, together with each objective’s status and relevant activities. It is available as an easily searchable Word document that will be frequently updated throughout the year. View the report on the DEIA webpage or by clicking here. If you have questions or feedback on ACCP’s DEIA efforts, please share them with the 2024 DEIA Task Force by sending an email to [email protected] or through an alternative communication channel, if you prefer.
