Promoting a More Diverse AAPADiversity is a strategic business imperative for the AAPA, and we strive to enhance implementation of best business practice recommendations in this area. Diversity efforts help us to attract, retain and motivate the best people drawn from the broadest pool of applicants. These efforts also ensure that every person has a seat at the table. And, perhaps the most important of all, they enable the AAPA to best serve our constituents by tapping the insights and talents of a diverse leadership pool. To learn more about this issue, the COD has created a development tool that provides:
- the business rationale for diversity as a strategic management directive;
- criteria that can be utilized for self-evaluation as well as during appointment and nomination processes; and lastly,
- recommendations for individual improvement related to each of the criteria.
By integrating these criteria into self-assessments, and considering these criteria during leadership appointments and nominations, we serve to benefit our profession, our constituents and our patients. On behalf the COD, we hope this tool proves useful to you in developing the highest caliber of leadership while incorporating diversity as a strategic management directive.
