The Ethnic and Cultural Diversity Committee is the first state chapter diversity committee. We promote an open forum in the undergraduate and graduate programs as well as in the work place within the Commonwealth. The Committee is focused on diversity, not minority, issues, and addresses issues pertaining to (but not exclusive to) the diversity groups within the APA (Planning and the Black Community, Women in Planning, Latinos and Planning, Gays and Lesbians in Planning).
