Ethnic and Racial Diversity

Mission
The Ethnic and Racial Diversity Committee was formulated for the purpose of advising the Executive Committee on behalf of the membership concerning issues, which impact the organizational and training agendas of the Council. Explicit in this charge is the social responsibility to ensure that representation of diverse ethnic and racial groups is reflected in the organization’s membership and committees. Through such advocacy, the Committee promotes and ensures the integration issues of ethnic/racial diversity throughout all programs and activities, facilitates and consults on the development of ethnic/racial diversity in the programs and curricula of member schools, and helps NCSPP to implement the resolutions of the 1989 Puerto Rico Conference.
