New Welcoming Environment® Certificate Program

When an association values differences and creates a Welcoming Environment — one that is comfortable, inclusive and empowering — it opens the door for innovation, increased participation and an elevated sense of community and belonging for all. Association Forum provides the tools and resources needed to create a Welcoming Environment at any organization. The new Welcoming Environment Certificate Program offers insights on the essentials of diversity, equity and inclusion. Upon completion of each certificate module, participants will receive an electronic badge to showcase their knowledge and skills to colleagues and friends. Also, be sure to check out the upcoming Welcoming Environment Conversation Circles to share ideas on creating an inclusive environment at your organization. You can find more details at the Welcoming Environment Resource Center.
