History

In May 2003 Dr. William Harvey, the then Vice President of the Center for
Advancement of Racial and Ethnic Equity (CAREE) at the American Council on
Education, invited a number of chief diversity officers from higher
education and business sectors to a meeting at the Ohio State University,
Ohio. . At the conclusion of the meeting, participants indicated their
interest to continue conversation regarding the many issues covered and,
more specifically, regarding the call for a national association for the
chief diversity officers.

Realizing the need for a national forum to continue the discussion of
professional standards to guide the nascent diversity profession, both Dr.
William Harvey and Dr. Steve O. Michael (Vice Provost for Diversity and
Academic Iniatives, Kent State University) kept working on a plan to bring
the chief diversity officers together. Dr. Michael took up the task of
developing a database and a listserv for chief diversity officers. The first
database contained 30 names representing 30 institutions. In less than six
months, the database grew to 120 names and institutions. Given the level of
interest, Dr. Harvey requested that Dr. Michael organize a meeting of the
chief diversity officers at the ACE's Educating All of One Nation's
Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The meeting took place on October 10, 2005.
Thirty five chief diversity officers were invited but over 80 chief and
senior diversity officers showed up at the meeting. Paralleled to this
effort, a few diversity officers on the east coast had been meeting to
discuss similar agenda and upon hearing of the national effort to establish
an association, Dr. Cookie Newsom of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill, submitted the names of the diversity officers on her list to
become part of the national initiative.
