Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging
At WIPA, we promote inclusivity in the wedding industry through active community engagement. We are fiercely committed to increasing the diversity of our membership through outreach, representation, and education.
No matter how the world around us is behaving, our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging is central to who we are and how we grow stronger, together. Here’s how we live it at WIPA.
Diversity
We are committed to helping our chapters attract a diverse group of professionals across areas like discipline, culture, gender, race, and ability.
Equity
We’re working to ensure that WIPA is an equitable organization where we are continuously developing how our members and future members have fair access to us through events, our website, and education.
Inclusion
By demonstrating inclusion, we make sure that when we show up and speak, we show up for and speak to everyone in the room.
Belonging
Belonging ties all of this together. When a person has a sense of belonging, they enter a space with pride. They feel seen and heard, they show up as their best self, and they give their best. That’s what we want for our members and future members.
DEI+B is more than an acronym—it shows up in every element of what we do, from marketing to membership, programs, and education. Thank you for standing with WIPA in this vital work.
