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.

A commitment to diversity and inclusion is a commitment to culture change.”

Kevin’s interest in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion work developed as he witnessed his parents encounter inequities and injustices while navigating the American healthcare and workplace landscape.
