Each year, DAIP recognizes organizations and individuals who champion the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our community gathers each fall for our Annual Leadership in Diversity & Inclusion Awards Reception (click here for details on this year’s event) to explore timely and trending DEI topics and honor our winners.
As in previous years, we’ll recognize an Individual Award Winner and an Organizational Award Winner. In 2023, DAIP will also select the first annual Linda Newton Legacy Award Winner to honor a seasoned DEI leader with 20+ years of experience (formally or informally) who embodies the legacy of DAIP’s founder, Linda Newton. For over 30 years, Linda has been a trailblazer who shaped the DEI landscape in the region, and today she is still shaping future generations of DEI leaders through leadership development, coaching, mentoring, and community service involvement. Recipients of this award should embody the characteristics outlined in the bulleted list below, have an impressive depth of professional and community service experience, and be seen as a role model and mentor for others.
Nomination form closes on Tuesday, August 15th.
