Diversity Committee Mission Statement
The Diversity Committee is made up of REALTORS®, Affiliate Members and staff of the Greater Northwest Indiana Association of REALTORS® (GNIAR). We are a diverse, and multicultural group that meets to discuss, and execute resolutions towards issues involving Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DE&I) that may affect our real estate business, and the people in the communities in which we serve. In following GNIAR’s mission statement our goals are to:
-
- Promote and celebrate diversity and multiculturalism through social media, educational workshops, webinars, and events.
- We strive to be leaders in the communities we represent by supporting and encouraging diversity, equality, and inclusion as it relates to real estate.
