Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Welcome to MEMA’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative. As the importance of DEI in the workplace continues to become more evident, MEMA is committed to helping members make DEI a priority in their business planning and HR practices. Through programming (events and councils), member consultancy, speaking engagements, and other industry outreach initiatives, MEMA’s DEI team provides forums and valuable resources to develop DEI strategies, share best practices, foster courageous conversations, and provide relevant insight to support members on their DEI journey.

Embracing DEI is critical for creating an inclusive work environment that fosters greater creativity and innovation, improves sales, and engages customers regionally, nationally, and globally.
