Purpose & Impact of the DEI Committee

The RGI DEI Education and Support Workgroup is focused on empowering our team to become more effective advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).  The workgroup helps individuals grow in their own DEI journeys, equipping them with the knowledge and tools needed to foster inclusive cultures within the associations they serve.

Central to the workgroup’s efforts is the DEI Program Maturity Matrix, which allows our staff and clients to assess organizational progress and identify areas for improvement. By addressing unconscious biases and promoting a culture of belonging, we encourage RGI team members to lead by example and guide volunteer leaders toward meaningful, actionable change—well beyond public statements.

With more than 60% of RGI colleagues actively involved in leadership roles across ASAE and the Indiana Society of Association Executives, our internal growth directly enhances the broader association profession, positioning RGI as a catalyst for advancing DEI principles within our industry.
