Last month, we announced that The Midwest Society of Association Executives (MSAE) teamed up with the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) to collaborate and plan for MSAE’s diversity and inclusiveness initiative. On April 14th, the MSAE board, chaired by MHQ’s CEO, Dara Rudick, voted unanimously to demonstrate its commitment to inclusivity by establishing a Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
“In general, MSAE has always strived to be inclusive,” says Rudick. “As a number of MSAE member associations are exploring diversity and inclusiveness within their organizations, they are looking to MSAE to model best practices. The MSAE board sees this as an enormous opportunity to ensure that MSAE models these best practices, and becomes more reflective of the communities that MSAE and our members serve.”
Melvin Tennant, CEO of Meet Minneapolis CVA agreed to Co-Chair the Committee with Rudick. In his weekly newsletter, Tennant discusses this important initiative “A Look Into the Future”.
