“Engaging each individual and making everyone feel valued, inclusion is the act of establishing philosophies, policies, practices, and procedures so that organizations and individuals contributing to the organizations’ success have a more level playing field to compete, and equal access to opportunities and information.” from — Cheney, C., LaFrance, J., & Quinteros, T. (n.d.). Diversity and Inclusion Definitions. Eat Right Pro: Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Retrieved March 10, 2026
“Promoting diversity and inclusion means creating environments where a wide range of individuals are represented, respected, and valued, ensuring everyone feels included, has equitable access to opportunities, and is empowered to participate fully. It involves acknowledging and celebrating differences in characteristics like race, gender, age, and background, while also fostering a culture of belonging where all voices are heard and contributions are recognized.”
