NAPO's We Believe Statement on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In June of 2020, the NAPO Board included Diversity as one of NAPO’s five Strategic Initiatives for 2020-2021.
Watch the video below to hear NAPO Immediate Past President, Susie Hayman, describe this initiative's goals.
Since June 2020, the members working on the diversity initiative have been committed to ensuring that NAPO is an association of and for all people and continues to seek new ways to make NAPO and all of its programs more diverse and inclusive.
We Believe
As an Association, We Believe
that the success of NAPO’s mission to be the leading source for Organizing and Productivity professionals relies on the collective efforts of our members of all races, religions, backgrounds, ages, abilities, beliefs, gender identities, and orientations. NAPO welcomes, supports and celebrates the diversity of people who are drawn to our profession and our Association.
As Professionals, We Believe
a diverse, equitable and inclusive professional organization drives innovation within our Association, builds successful businesses, and delivers cultural competency in our work with the communities we serve.
As Members, We Believe
our members should feel valued for their talents and experience, recognized for their contributions, and encouraged to bring their authentic selves to participate in NAPO and our industry.
As a Community, We Believe
that when people feel appreciated and included, they will be more creative, collaborative, innovative, and successful. We Believe that treating each other with respect and kindness in our words and actions builds community within our Association and enriches us all.
