Let's Get Started!

"I am truly grateful to the DAA for their guidance, support, problem-solving, thought leadership and kindness. As an agency signatory of the DAA, we have been able to inspire our team to reach and exceed our pledged commitment around decreasing the representation gaps in our agency throughout our 2-year journey (2020 - 2022). Our partnership with the DAA has been a critical component of inspiring our team to actively take part in our recruitment, retention and promotion efforts."

“Our organization recently had the pleasure of working with the Diversity Action Alliance to provide a agency-wide training for our employees. The DAA team delivered an exceptional and invaluable presentation. They listened attentively to our needs and tailored the training to address our specific challenges and goals. They covered key issues and components and helped facilitate important conversations around diversity, equity, and inclusion. We greatly appreciate the work they have done for us and are very excited to continue working together in the future. Thank you, DAA, for your outstanding work and for being a catalyst for progress.”

"The DAA team created a great and safe space for our team to talk about diversity and our experiences and reframe our perspectives broadly, with listening and empathy at the core. As an organization committed to DE&I, it was very valuable for us to take the time and explore why diversity, equity and inclusion are important values for Orangefiery. We’re grateful to Carmella, Jennifer and Andrea for their help in understanding the many layers of these issues and helping us discover how we can authentically represent these values in our behaviors and communications."

"As the DAA’s first signatory from higher education, Duke has prioritized advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work and our workplace. So we were thrilled to have Carmella, Andrea, and Jenny lead a half-day workshop for communications professionals from across the university and health system. Their dynamic and engaging presentation was equal parts enlightening, energizing, and inspiring. We left refocused and reinvigorated for the hard work of helping make all of our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members feel welcome here. Thank you, DAA!"

Duke University
"My team and I had a powerfully informative and personally moving experience with DAA's facilitated session, who joined our full-team offsite. We worked through a customized curriculum of insights about confronting biases in the workplace and in our profession based on a pre-event survey. And then the DAA facilitators engaged us in several powerful exercises that both illuminated and inspired. To a person, we are still reverberating from our in-person session. And we're looking forward to continuing our partnership -- and personal and professional growth - with the DAA. Thank you!"
