In all its activities, IAPPS strives to sustain an open exchange of ideas in an environment that embodies the values of freedom, responsibility, integrity, and cooperation, and provides opportunities to learn and grow from multiple views and perspectives, in an atmosphere of mutual respect, free from any form of prejudice and intolerance, to foster an inclusive community.
- IAPPS is committed to creating and maintaining a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for members and the communities it serves and in which it operates.
- IAPPS believes that access and opportunity to engage should not be limited by one’s origin, cultural background, ethnicity, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, apparent and non-apparent disability, religious affiliation, immigration status, or political opinion.
- IAPPS acknowledges and values all dimensions of diversity, which ensures a wealth of perspectives and enhances the quality of our work and interactions.
- IAPPS is also committed to identifying areas for improvement in DEI in all its actions. It is our goal to create a culture free from intimidation and discrimination, and in which accountability to one another is built on trust and a shared commitment to a supportive environment. The commitment to DEI requires cooperation and regular reflection to continue investing for an equitable and inclusive space.
