We are so excited to be implementing our 3rd DEI Council for the 2023-2024 school year! Last year, our DEI Council was fundamental in supporting both National CHAARG + our Chapters through DEI efforts ++ helping shape how CHAARG incorporates DEI into our everyday actions. We also implemented DEI Subcommittees to accomplish more specific tasks, which we’ll be implementing again for the 2023-2024 school year — we’ll have a Social Media, Recruitment + Membership, ++ Education + Leadership Development Subcommittee.

If you’re passionate about DEI, want to help CHAARG continue to grow in our DEI efforts, + want to support our CHAARG Chapters in DEI within their Chapter, you should apply for the DEI Council! Apps are due June 4.
