National ACR Diversity and Equity Policy Statement

ACR seeks to encourage and promote participation, accessibility, active representation and leadership from diverse populations including, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, national origin, languages, genders, sexual orientation, economic status, school or organizational locations, physical abilities, age, religion, educational types or levels and perspectives. Further, ACR actively implements equity and affirms diversity in its work, including its publications and standards, and in its board, staff, programs, chapters, sections and committees.

In order to promote diversity and equity in our organization and our field, on-going self-examination is essential. We are committed to discussing and implementing fairness and openness in our values, procedures, conceptual frameworks and structures. All persons participating in ACR programs and activities are a part of this endeavor.
