Belonging

We all want to feel like we belong. But belonging is more than a mission placed on a wall. It involves intentional work, active listening, and a willingness to accept and celebrate how our differences enrich our profession. In other words, true belonging starts with culture, and culture starts with people. We examine what we can do as members, both in our own organizations and within the industry, to support a culture of belonging.
