Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force is charged with fulfilling IGFOA's DEI statement in ways that are transformative and actionable. IGFOA's mission statement: "IGFOA values Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and commits to fostering a culture where various ideas, perspectives and backgrounds are encouraged, valued and promoted." 

"As an organization, we need to be mindful that we are part of a larger society that is not always the best it can be. Gone are the days when we can quietly sit back and ignore the significant racial and cultural issues in our society. We are a diverse organization, and we need to find ways to be more inclusive." - IGFOA Past President, Kevin Wachtel
