Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Commitment

 

In August 2020, MPI Toronto announced the creation of a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Task Force who diligently examined every aspect of the Chapter's operations from the leadership team to chapter resources to volunteer opportunities, identifying gaps and opportunities.

 

In June 2022, a list of recommendations were presented to the Board including the creation of a permanent Diversity, Equity and Inclusion entity with representation at board level from a Vice President, the allocation of funds to hire a diversity and inclusion expert and the provision of resources for the benefit of the MPI Toronto membership community.

 

In July 2022, a joint Membership/ Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee was formed, currently led by Julie McMartin, CED (Director) and Adam Hassen (Chair), to ensure the chapter is inclusive and accessible to a diverse community of meeting professionals, throughout the chapter's activities and operations.
