For the first time ever in the association industry, there is a tool to help you and your association uncover key strengths in talent management and inclusive practices. ASAE released the first generation of the Association Inclusion Index to take the guess work out of D+I work in all aspects of association management. Derived from the best thinking in nonprofit and association management, this diagnostic tool allows you to benchmark your organization’s diversity + inclusion practices and objectives against community standards. Available 24/7, it eliminates hours of collecting and aggregating printed surveys and reports to take organizational efforts to the next level. The Association Inclusion Index also provides tools for sharing organizational progress with stakeholders to strengthen the case for diversity and inclusion funding support. Members: $199
Nonmembers: $299
