MARCELLE G., ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, MESSIAH UNIVERSITY

I would highly recommend becoming a member of DIPCPA. This group has become very life giving and important to me as there is an urgent need for professionals to come together and empower each other as agents of change, across a wide variety of professional disciplines. Together we learn, grow, and challenge each other towards making a meaningful difference in diversity, equity and inclusion within our communities, and professional spheres of influence.

I have found that my time spent with the DIPCPA group has been very helpful in making contact with like-minded individuals, receiving training on legislation and polices related to the field and having access to training provided by gurus in related fields.
