Membership Requirements

Our goal is to build a diverse community for senior DEI leaders. The criteria below is how we evaluate applications, however, because titles vary by organization, industry, and geography, we review every application on an individual basis to determine fit based on current and prior leadership experience to ensure our members can get support from true peers.

The IDEAS membership experience is designed for those who have senior leadership responsibility within their organization for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We use a range of factors to determine if your experience and seniority level meets the criteria for the IDEAS community.

These include:
- Titles, the most commonly held titles amongst our members are CXO and VP; we look for an equivalent title within your organization, industry or geography

- Company size, based on number of full-time employees

- Reporting structure, maximum 5 levels from CEO (varies with company size)

Professional journey, encompassing titles, scope, and increasing responsibilities over the course of your career.

We may request additional information or documentation to assess both current and prior experience.
