IOA Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging Committee

Mission

The DEIAB Committee is charged with developing education and training on DEIAB-related issues, including cross-cultural competence, that can be used to help members within their organizations grow and convey cultural intelligence; collaborate with other committees to integrate DEIB considerations into the IOA’s programs and operations; and provide feedback to the Board of Directors about intra-organizational DEIB trends and opportunities.

The DEIAB Committee has worked diligently since its inception and created a valuable framework designed to guide the IOA toward a more inclusive organization by supporting all IOA committees to develop and achieve DEIAB-related goals. Read more about the framework on the Independent Voice, IOA's blog.
