AIUSA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiative |
Introduction
In order to ensure that Amnesty International USA (AIUSA) is a welcoming environment for all, InPartnership Consulting has been asked to survey a cross section of leadership, staff, and volunteer members to gather data that will provide a snapshot of the organization's current culture.
This survey is part of the needs assessment process. The data will reflect perceptions -- individual and organizational perceptions. Perceptions are important because they form the basis for behavior.
When answering questions about your work environment, please answer the question with the whole organization in mind. For example, a response to a question about work environment should include a response that considers the whole organization and is grounded in your perspective and experience.
Your responses to the survey and interviews are confidential. No individual responses will be shared with anyone at AIUSA. AIUSA has retained InPartnership Consulting to identify the broad themes and prepare a report. A summary of the report will be shared with board, staff and members.
This survey will take about 20-25 minutes. If you have any questions, please contact ruma.tenbrink@inpartnership.com. Thank you so much for your participation!

In preparation for survey completion, we offer the following definitions:
1. Diversity - The wide range of national, ethnic, racial and other backgrounds of U.S. residents and immigrants as social groupings, co-existing in American culture. The term is often used to include aspects of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation/identity, disability, socioeconomic class, culture, religious beliefs, age, educational status and more.
2. Racial Equity - The condition that would be achieved if one's racial identity no longer predicted how one fares. When we use the term, we are thinking about racial equity as one part of racial justice, and thus we also include work to address root causes of inequities not just their manifestation. This includes elimination of policies, practices, attitudes and cultural messages that reinforce differential outcomes by race or fail to eliminate them.
3. Inclusion- Inclusion authentically brings traditionally marginalized individuals and/or groups into processes, activities, and decision/policy making.
