Policy on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Ipas Board of Directors strongly affirms its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Ipas staff and Board members reflect diverse cultures, experiences, and breadths of knowledge. We respect, value, appreciate, and honor the unique heritage, characteristics, experiences, and perspectives that all bring to meeting our mission. Ipas strives to include a multiplicity of voices in the execution of its work and make opportunities accessible to everyone.

The Board will ensure that its membership is diverse, and that Ipas staff have a work environment that is free from all forms of inequity, discrimination, and harassment. In partnership with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Board will practice the following:

  • The Ipas Board Audit and Risk Committee will receive biannual reports on internal anti-racism work and other DEI efforts from management and will share concerns and suggestions with management and Board leadership.
  • The Board, through the Executive Committee, will include specific DEI objectives for the CEO and as part of their annual evaluation of CEO performance. When hiring a CEO, the Board will actively pursue DEI best practices to ensure a fair selection process.  
  • The Board Governance and Leadership Committee will continue to ensure that Board members are diverse and representative of the communities that Ipas serves and that all voices are heard.
  • The Board Governance and Leadership Committee will periodically review this policy and will recommend any necessary changes to the full Board.
