The Board of Regents of The American College of Psychiatrists is pleased to announce the adoption of The College’s Diversity, Respectful Inclusion, and Equity Vision Statement.  The Statement was recommended for adoption by The College’s Diversity, Respectful Inclusion, and Equity Committee following a year-long development process.  Feedback from the Board and from respondents to a membership survey on a draft of the Statement were incorporated into the final version.  The College’s values and goals are clearly and succinctly expressed in this document, which addresses issues that are critically important to our College, our Members, and our profession. 

 The Board commends the Members of the Committee for their work: (Iqbal Ahmed, Chair; Michele Reid, Vice Chair; Constance E. Dunlap; Francisco Fernandez; Francis G. Lu; Francisco A. Moreno; Annelle B. Primm; Joshua T. Thornhill IV; Carol I. Ping Tsao; Board Liaison: George A. Keepers). 

 The Board also expresses its appreciation for the many Members who offered feedback on the draft Statement.  This Vision Statement will guide the Board, The College’s Committees, and its Members and Fellows in their work to continuously improve the diversity of our organization and in their advocacy for these values in every setting.
