ACC member committees guide leadership in the decision-making process related to the organization’s operations. Committees share valuable information, ideas, and input with ACC’s Board of Directors in the best interest of the organization. ACC member committees are standing committees that contribute to activities in functional areas of the organization; work groups that bring together professionals in similar roles across all member institutions to collaborate, share ideas and discuss best practices; and task forces that assist the board and staff with defining ways to address specific, short-term goal related to ACC’s strategic plan.

The Association of Chiropractic Colleges (ACC) endeavors to create an environment that recognizes diversity while acknowledging, understanding, and promoting experiences that foster acceptance of race, color, ethnic makeup, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, ideological viewpoints, religion, nationality, age, disability, socioeconomic status, marital and parental status.
The DEI committee identifies ways ACC can support collaboration among member programs in their commitment to diversify our communities overall (faculty, staff, and students) and to educate our students on appreciating diversity to address disparities in healthcare and to improve the overall health of the communities they serve. It is responsible for identifying DEI initiatives that help to strengthen and support each program’s DEI strategies, goals, and plans. This encompasses increasing faculty and staff awareness and understanding of DEI issues; growing a diverse student body, faculty, and staff; and creating an environment of inclusion, access, and belonging that affects sustainability and growth.
