Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The Board of Directors of ACG Los Angeles (“ACG LA”) commits to ensuring that ACG LA is a diverse and inclusive community where each member has an equal opportunity to flourish. Diversity, equity and inclusion are critical to sustaining and strengthening our tradition of excellence in all aspects of operation - networking, programmatic and organizational.  Fostering an experience where all participants feel they can bring their full selves forward is not merely aspirational, it is fundamental to our mission.
