IDEAL (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Life-Long Learning)
You can contact Tom Nichols-Faber to sign up for the IDEAL mailing list. The list is used to share announcements about diversity and inclusion events and training opportunities.
The IDEAL Committee was established as part of an ongoing effort to ensure a safe environment for our IIE staff. The committee values the diverse voices and perspectives of the staff, and our core belief is that embedding diversity makes us successful. We are dedicated to training our hiring team on equitable practices and establishing a culture where we are intentional and conscious of bias throughout our recruitment, promotion, and employee evaluation processes.
The mission of the IDEAL committee is to foster a workplace culture that empowers all staff members, celebrates differences, promotes transparency and trust, and promptly addresses concerns. We are committed to building diversity, inclusivity, and interpersonal relationships through curated resources, activities, and initiatives.
Our key priorities include:
• Addressing hiring practices and policies
• Implementing inclusion and training initiatives
• Encouraging open communication & mutual understanding
