WHO WE ARE

Diversity & Inclusion Professionals (DAIP) is a non-profit, networking and professional development organization that promotes equity and inclusion as important elements of business and community success.

​

DAIP was founded in 2009 as the outgrowth of an informal network of diversity practitioners.  Participants saw the need to involve a broader base of professionals in the inclusion discussion and; to create a community dialogue about how diversity and inclusion impact economic development, employment, education, corporate governance and community success.

EVENTS

DAIP offers regular opportunities for our community to engage in equity and inclusion conversations that are meaningful (and sometimes uncomfortable) as we work to engage our state’s emerging majorities in government, business, education, and politics to achieve the best for everyone. Here are some of the ways that we currently connect with the diversity, equity, and inclusion community.

ANNUAL AWARDS LUNCHEON

The annual awards luncheon is an opportunity to come together, get inspired by national speakers, and recognize our leadership in diversity and inclusion award recipients

UNFILTERED COFFEE CHATS

Sponsored by Bolt Coffee, “Unfiltered” is a series that by design is not your ordinary diversity discussion – we encourage you to come ready to contribute with hard questions, unpopular opinions, and the gift of your lived experience at home and work related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 

Hosted on the Amica Insurance Campus in Lincoln, RI, the annual event provides an opportunity for members to network, build connections, and learn about an important topic in the diversity, equity, and inclusion landscape.

“A commitment to diversity and inclusion is a commitment to culture change."
