	 This commitment is demonstrated through our adoption of the following principles of engagement
for excellence.

Principle One:

Principle Four:

Understand the value of diversity, the integrity
of equity, and the benefit of inclusive practice.

Connect cultural competence to performance
outcomes.

Recognize that this work is more than doing
the right thing; it is also about valuing the
knowledge and perspectives that people from
diverse backgrounds and affiliations contribute to
productively responding to the challenges faced
by higher education.

Emphasize personal responsibility and
accountability for diversifying the development
of the student body and the workforce,
understanding the role of cultural competence in
high performing teams, and realizing that conflict
about differences has the impact of weakening
team performance.

Principle Two:
Identify the elements of association members'
work that can be leveraged to make a
difference.
Focus on offering guidance that is consistent
with members' roles as well as important and
relevant to their responsibilities. Find ways
to share information and expertise and foster
understanding.
Principle Three:
Model inclusive practices in all of the
association's work.
Focus the association's work on
demonstrating what inclusive practice looks like
at the association's national office.

Principle Five:
Build the association's capacity to assist its
organizational members by offering relevant
education and professional development.
Teach association staff, volunteer leaders,
and members how to build consensus on
their organization's goals for diversity, develop
partnerships, identify resources to do the work,
develop leadership at all levels to implement
consensus goals, and communicate the centrality
of this work to the vitality of higher education.
Principle Six:
Assess progress toward achieving goals for
diversity.
Foster a culture of experimentation with
diversity efforts and engagement with difference,
establish and use assessment results for
organizational learning, and develop/adopt
assessment metrics for the association to monitor
its progress over time.
