Equity, Diversity, Justice and Inclusion (EDJI) Committee

The EDJI Committee will support the EDJI Chair by collaborating closely to advance initiatives that address systemic inequalities and promote occupational justice within the occupational therapy community in Colorado. The committee will assist in developing and implementing strategies to mitigate bias and foster inclusion, ensuring diverse representation and perspectives are considered in all efforts. By organizing town hall meetings, providing educational resources, and advocating for policy changes, the committee will bolster the EDJI Chair's efforts to promote culturally responsive care and align with the AOTA Code of Ethics. Additionally, the committee will work with the EDJI Chair and Secretary to review and update EDJI relevant standard operating procedures, support outreach to marginalized populations, and engage with community organizations, thereby reinforcing the Chair's mission to create a more inclusive and equitable occupational therapy profession.

Participation on an OTAC committee requires active OTAC membership. We are grateful for our members—your support makes this work possible!

The committee plans to meet virtually every other month on the second Monday of the month at 6:30pm. Interested in getting involved? Email info@otacco.org to be added to the committee.
