NEPDEC’s mission is to create a more inclusive, dynamic culture in our region and to prepare for increasingly complex and diverse communities and workplaces. To achieve these goals, we:
- provide educational programming and consultation,
- support members’ diversity initiatives,
- organize networking and social events for relaxed interaction and sharing, and
- build alliances among historically isolated groups.
Through cooperation, we address regional diversity issues with greater impact and economies of scale.
