The Diversity Council Honors Award™ was established by the Association of Diversity Councils to honor outstanding contributions and achievements of diversity council groups that lead diversity processes in organizations and demonstrate results in their Workforce, Workplace and Marketplace. Recipients of the award set the standards of excellence for US diversity councils. The collection of recognized results achieved by councils serves as a foundation for best practices for councils within and across industries. Implementation of these practices will position councils to be more influential and effective in their organizations.
A panel of independent judges evaluated online applications submitted by operational councils that have been in operation for at least two (2) years and who execute strategic tactics that originate from an Executive Council or Steering Committee. Award recipients may be a Company Council, responsible for achieving goals for the entire organization; or a council within a company that represents a specific line of business or business unit. Applications from distinctive multiple councils within one organization were allowed.
Applicants are evaluated on contributions and achievements in four categories: Demonstrated Council Results; Demonstrated Management Commitment; Measurement and Accountability; and, Communication and Education. Membership with the Association of Diversity Councils is not required to apply.
