Celebrating 20 Years
2021 marks the 20-year anniversary of Diversity Awareness Partnership’s founding as a catalyst to increase awareness, facilitate engagement and provide education about diversity and inclusion. Although we could never have imagined the circumstances under which we would be celebrating this milestone, it means the world to the DAP Team that our community has continued to make change, forge connections, and support one another throughout this profoundly challenging time. Thank you for your crucial efforts, and we hope that you will take a moment to explore this page dedicated to the initiatives we have undertaken together through the past two decades to the present day, in pursuit of a more inclusive world for all.
