Our Statement On:
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
Statement on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB): At the American Marketing Association (AMA) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), we are committed to fostering a community that embraces diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Our organization is a reflection of the wide array of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that our members bring to the table. We believe that by embracing these differences, we can achieve a deeper understanding of the world around us.
We are dedicated to creating an environment where every member feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute their unique insights. We actively seek to dismantle barriers that may hinder participation or growth within our organization and ensure that no one is excluded based on their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, abilities, or any other aspect of their identity.
Incorporating "belonging" into our diversity, equity, and inclusion statement signals a commitment to not only including diverse voices but also creating an environment where these voices are heard and valued, and where individuals can genuinely thrive. At the AMAUWM, it is about building a community where everyone feels like they have found their place, contributing to a more inclusive and equitable organization.
