The Collaborative on Inclusive Action and Engagement

Collaborative Mission Statement

The Collaborative on Inclusive Action and Engagement breaks down barriers to access and support faced by underrepresented groups and marginalized communities, benefiting the entire O&P profession.

It offers learning tools and support that encourage and engage members to co-create safe spaces for all individuals in the profession and to lead conversations and initiatives around diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within The Academy.

Collaborative Initiatives

The Collaborative facilitates the annual Empowering Emerging Voices Scholarship and hosts a Professional Development/Change Management series at the Academy Annual Meeting and Scientific Symposium. It also sponsors an event celebrating its mission, highlights awareness months, and develops projects spotlighting diverse issues within O&P.
