WHO WE AREHistorically, the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Commission's purpose was to provide leadership, advice and counsel on EA/EO/Equity matters, to recommend equity legislative issues to AFC, and to provide a vehicle for professional development. We have expanded our scope by adding elements of general diversity and inclusion work that would be relevant to all AFC members, even if they do not serve their institution in an official equity role. True diversity involves EVERYONE. We are Stronger Together!
