Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The PRSA Thoroughbred Chapter is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We support PRSA National's statement addressed to PRSA and PRSSA members, which expresses the organization's dedication to DEI (excerpt at right).
​
The Thoroughbred Chapter believes that DEI is vital to the success of our chapter, our profession and the communities in which we live, work and serve. We champion DEI by reaching out to and involving chapter members who represent a broad spectrum of differences as well as encouraging participation in chapter leadership and programming.
We also champion inclusion in our community outreach efforts by bringing diverse voices to the table. Ultimately, the success of our community means success for all of us.
"At the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is unwavering. In recent years, DEI initiatives have become vastly criticized and often weaponized, leading to confusion among the general public. This has resulted in companies and organizations reconsidering or even retreating from their commitments due to shifting political and social pressures. Despite these challenges, PRSA remains steadfast in our belief that DEI is not a passing trend — it is fundamental to the future of public relations, business and society.
"Today, we want to address a question we’ve heard from many PRSA members: "What does diversity, equity and inclusion mean to PRSA in the current landscape?" The answer is simple — DEI is who we are, and it is core to the values of PRSA."
