125 middle and high school students attended the initial summit. The committee then began planning for its first Inclusion Summit for students, which was held at Holy Cross College in January, 2018. For the MSAA/MIAA memberships, it means creating an opportunity for all students to participate in interscholastic athletics.įollowing the development of the Inclusion Committee in 2016, the MSAA/MIAA hosted its first Inclusion Symposium at our Franklin headquarters in May 2017, which reached more than 80 participants. Since renamed the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC), the DEIC strives to redefine what DEI means, how schools practice, monitor, and evaluate DEI programs and services, and to provide DEI leadership trainings to increase the capacity to meet the DEI needs across the state. The Inclusion Committee was comprised of a variety of individuals and community partners.

In the Fall 2016, as a direct response to the Minority Inclusion Plan (MIP), the MSAA and MIAA established the first ever Inclusion Committee. Since MIP’s inception under the guiding leadership of Bill Gaine, the task has been to build an organization where diversity and inclusion are an important part of our culture and who we are.
