title: Positive steps toward a multicultural association.
abstract: Diversity is a common denominator in all three initiatives of ADA's 1996-1999 Strategic Framework, "Creating The Future." With a diversified membership and practice base, which can be achieved by incorporating diversity within the Association's member initiative, ADA will more effectively accomplish its policy and public education activities. Members of ADA's Diversity Committee believe increased communication with the Association's members is one of the best strategies to identify and promote diversity accomplishments and opportunities. "Creating the Future" for dietetics professionals can be accomplished for all members if we all work together on this important task.
