Core Values
This is what we stand for. It’s what we devote ourselves to, every day, for our members.
Diversity Statement
NAHRO is committed to diversity. We recognize and value the rich and varied experiences and world views of groups and individuals, and how these provide the potential for greater creativity and innovation. We also value the essential points of view that arise from our differences in organizational size and geographic place. By respecting race, religion, skin color, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical abilities, age, work and behavioral styles as well as the perspectives of each individual as shaped by environment and experiences, NAHRO remains vigilant in our efforts to appreciate diversity and its implications. At all levels, NAHRO will cultivate a culture in which each individual is welcomed, respected, supported and valued as a member.
Equity Framework
In February 2021, the NAHRO Board of Governors approved a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy Framework. NAHRO’s committees are now carrying out more exploratory and actionable work on the policy areas listed within the framework.
Professional Code of Conduct
Every NAHRO individual member or associate, allied individual member, and those certified through one of NAHRO’s Credentialing programs, must live and work by NAHRO’s Code of Professional Conduct.
