Diversity Toolbox
Whether your interest is adapting a written policy, conducting research, finding a speaker, funding or inspiration for fresh ideas, we encourage you to explore and find many documents, links, forms and other diversity rich resources within the Diversity Toolbox. This is just the beginning . . . our goal is to make the Diversity Toolbox an ongoing project, with quarterly reviews, to create a storehouse of information for association executives about diversity.
Please contact OSAE's Diversity Committee Chairperson, Michael Ranney CAE via email at diversity@osae.org.
In principal and in practice, OSAE values and seeks diverse and inclusive participation within the field of association management. OSAE promotes involvement and access to leadership opportunity to all members regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, nationality, or disability. OSAE will continue to provide leadership and commit time and resources to advance this objective. OSAE will develop strategies and initiatives to promote and welcome diversity within the board, staff, and membership of OSAE and provide tools for its members' organizations regarding diversity.

ASAE's DELP Program
The Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP) is designed to help individuals from underrepresented segments of the association community advance into the ranks of leadership in the association management profession.

The DELP is offered in partnership with the allied societies, under the sponsorship of the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau.
There are up to ten scholarships available to the next DELP class. The program tenure is from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Allied societies nominate candidates to the DELP. Scholars are selected from among nominees submitted by the allied societies.
Interested parties should contact the local allied society for information on their selection process and application deadline.
