ACR Diversity and Equity Committee
ACR is committed to diversity and equity in its
membership, structure, and organizational work.
A culturally diverse organization is one that
recognizes, supports, values, and utilizes
people's differences and similarities in support
of the organization's goals and objectives.
Diversity and equity mean recognizing and
working to eliminate injustices in access,
process, and consequences of ACR's efforts to
strive to meet the needs of diverse members and
stakeholders.
ACR encourages and promotes participation,
accessibility, active representation, and
leadership from diverse populations including,
but not limited to, races, ethnicities, national
origins, languages, genders, sexual orientation,
economic statuses, school or organizational
locations, physical abilities, ages, religions,
educational types or levels, and perspectives.
Further, ACR actively implements equity and
affirms diversity in its work, including its
publications and standards, and in its board,
staff, programs, chapters, sections, and
committees.
In order to promote diversity and equity in ACR
and the conflict resolution field, on-going
self-examination is essential. We are committed
to discussing and implementing fairness and
openness in our values, procedures, conceptual
frameworks, and structures. All persons
participating in ACR programs and activities are
a part of this endeavor.
Each Committee, Task Force, Chapter, Section,
and any other group within ACR shall elect or
appoint at least one Diversity and Equity Point
Person, who, in consultation with other Point
Persons who make up the ACR Diversity and Equity
Network, oversee the implementation of this
commitment to diversity and equity. Each Chapter
and Section shall, in consultation with its own
Point Persons, report each year to the ACR
Diversity and Equity Committee on its activities
to support and demonstrate its commitment to
this Diversity and Equity Policy.
Below is a list of the Committee Chairs and the
Point Persons who make up the Network.
ACR members who are interested in becoming a
point person, or would like more information
about the D&E Committee or the Network, please
