​CAS AND ACUDA JOINT STATEMENT ON DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The CAS and ACUDA Joint Statement on Diversity and Inclusion acknowledges that both organizations recognize and value diversity in all aspects of our work and the profession. Diversity is a source of strength that can only be fully realized through equitable and inclusive involvement of all. The statement promotes that every person has the right to be accepted and treated with respect and dignity. It is expected that all society and ACUDA Board and committee members, staff, CAS members, and volunteers will model, promote, and comply with these principles.
