LeadingAge is asking multisite organizations and life plan communities to complete a 5-minute Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Survey.
LeadingAge is embarking on a major initiative, called for in our newly adopted strategic plan, to help members achieve greater diversity in their organizations.
We’re launching this initiative because we believe that striving for diversity and inclusion in all facets of our organizations is the right thing to do.
We also know that the more diverse our organizations are, the more successful they will be in carrying out their missions. Not only do organizations with high diversity outperform those that are less diverse, but a diverse board of directors is associated with a higher reputation and greater innovation.
On Jan. 19, LeadingAge sent multisite organizations and life plan communities a 5-minute survey to help us gauge their current reality and practices with respect to diversity and inclusion. We plan to use the survey results to begin charting our strategy to develop resources and supports to help LeadingAge members who are striving to make their organizations more inclusive.
