Share Your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Story with LeadingAge

Posted on January 27, 2021 by LeadingAge

Featuring Susan Hildebrandt, VP of Workforce Initiatives at LeadingAge

There is still time to complete your survey! In 2021, LeadingAge National is helping provider members focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a key component of its recently adopted strategic plan. Over the next 3 years, LeadingAge aims to offer all member organizations the tools and resources they need to develop a more diverse and inclusive workforce, and this effort begins with you.

If you are a multi-site organization, look for an email in your inbox Tuesday, Jan. 19 with a link to a 5-minute survey so LeadingAge can learn more about where you are on your DEI journey:

• What are you currently doing to make your organizations more inclusive?
• What challenges are you facing as you work toward your diversity goals?
• What would you like to accomplish in the future?

LeadingAge is eager to hear both from members who have launched diversity and inclusion initiatives and those who have not. The data from the survey and future interviews with chief diversity and inclusion officers will help LeadingAge understand where members are on their DEI journey and identify promising practices.

We hope you will take 5 minutes to help LeadingAge better understand where you are in your DEI journey. If you have questions or would like to learn more about DEI resources, please contact Susan Hildebrandt, VP of Workforce Initiatives at LeadingAge at shildebrandt@leadingage.org.
