The Intersection of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and Public Protection

Thursday, August 8 from 12 pm - 1 pm ET

Description

Credentialing organizations promote excellence by awarding credentials based on competency standards. Maintaining public protection while ensuring access to the needed workforce in a variety of professions is an important aspect of credentialing and is included within the mission of credentialing organizations. However, often unknowingly, organizational policies, procedures, and practices create access barriers for many people. Existing limitations and barriers can disproportionately impact people who have been historically underrepresented in a significant range of professions. When credentialing people to practice in a wide array of fields, the DEI goal is to broaden policies and practices to include as many qualified people as possible. There is research that validates there are more positive outcomes for the public when a profession is diverse and has practitioners who reflect the range of the population being served.[1] Increasing diversity is important, but it also bumps up against ensuring that credentialing policies and practices protect the public sufficiently. How do we increase access, opportunities, inclusion, and fairness while also protecting the public?

This session will address how DEI principles can be integrated into organizational policies and practices while continuing to promote public protection. There will be a panel discussion with the moderator posing questions to stimulate the conversation. The panel will include a DEI professional, a public member representing the interests of the public, and a representative of the legal community to address where DEI and public interest overlap and implications for credentialing organizations. There will be time allotted for an interactive process with the audience.
