AFP's IDEA/FORGE Ahead

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access (IDEA) are core principles of AFP. In the 2025–2027 Strategic Plan, the AFP Global Board of Directors affirmed this commitment and FORGE is how that commitment is put into action. This values-driven framework is designed to elevate our industry by equipping members with common language, clarity, and concrete accountability β€” strengthening the profession's ability to attract and retain talent, create a sense of belonging, build broader and more diverse networks, and generate the outcomes organizations and individuals need to succeed.

DEMOGRAPHICS

AFP is committed to diversity as an ongoing proactive process in its governance, chapters, committees, membership, procedures, processes, programs, and activities. AFP strives to attract, retain, accommodate, and involve a range of diverse people who are valued, respected, accepted, feel safe, and comfortable at the global, national, regional, or local chapter level.

AFP defines diversity as a core value. It is an inclusive concept including, though not limited to, race, color, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation or identity, religion, nationality, age, economic class, educational level, language, physical, mobility and ability, geography, and marital and parental status. The state of being diverse means having the broadest possible representation of individuals, experiences, and perspectives in all-encompassing terms.

AFP does not discriminate based on sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. To track the effectiveness of our recruiting efforts and ensure we consider the needs of all our members and volunteers, please consider answering the following optional questions. Submission of this information is entirely voluntary. Responses will remain confidential and will be used only for reporting.
