Welcome to Belonging In Action:
It’s More Than a Feeling
BIA builds upon the foundational principles of DEI without erasing or dismissing the progress we have made. It shifts the focus from representation alone to ensuring that every individual—especially those from historically marginalized communities—feels seen, valued, and empowered to contribute fully. Importantly, this model aligns with current legal frameworks, providing a practical and legally sound pathway to fostering inclusive excellence.
About Us
Belonging in Action (BIA) is a transformative framework designed to create environments where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to contribute. Building on the foundations of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), BIA takes the next step by focusing on fostering universal belonging—a shared human experience that transcends identity and unites us through connection, collaboration, and purpose.
UNIVERSAL INCLUSION
BIA is rooted in the belief that belonging is a fundamental human need.
ACTIONABLE & MEASURABLE
Equipped with tools to assess belonging, implement inclusive practices, and measure success through tangible outcomes.
NON-EXCLUSIONARY PRACTICES
BIA emphasizes fostering inclusion without exclusion.
RESILENT & ADAPTABLE
Designed to align with legal, cultural, and societal expectations by focusing on belonging as a sentiment, which ensures it can’t be easily legislated against or discredited.
