Affinity Groups Building Session at the ACCP Annual Meeting

On Monday, October 14, at 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m. (MST), the DEIA Committee will host an Affinity Groups Building Session. Affinity groups are intended to represent social identity frameworks (rather than personal or professional interests/practice areas) and create additional opportunity for interaction with ACCP members who may share similar self-identified personal/social traits. Initial groups identified by the DEIA Committee include Black and African American persons, Hispanic and Latino persons, Asian persons, Pacific Islander persons, Middle Eastern/North African persons, LGBTQIA+ persons, and persons with disabilities/chronic illness. The Committee recognizes that this list is only a starting point and that there will likely be other dimensions of diversity that will benefit from an Affinity Group in the future. Each of the initial groups will have a dedicated roundtable during this session to discuss workplace challenges, desired support and resources, expectations, and shared experiences. Roundtable discussions will help inform Affinity Group implementation within the College. We hope you will join the session, meet others, and contribute to building a culture of inclusion within ACCP.
