Inclusion Diversity Equity & Awareness "IDEA"

ALFN values the individual differences within our member community, and the benefits that diversity and inclusion brings to our association.  We continue providing access to opportunities regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, appearance, geographic location, or professional level.

  • Promote greater diversity in the ALFN by helping recruit, support, and retain members and group participants from diverse backgrounds
  • Assist the ALFN Board of Directors and CEO in the implementation of strategic initiatives proposed by the committee
  • Promote participation in activities supporting diversity and inclusion in our member communities
