ABOUT US

The Diversity Advancement Network is a global initiative that celebrates, unites and empowers all people for the good of society. At DAN, we create unique philanthropic opportunities to celebrate success stories while providing solutions to common issues in marginalized communities, through workshops and mentorship programs.

Our primary objective is to facilitate programs that can bring people together while promoting literacy, economic development, diversity, and inclusion. We have held several forums and executed projects to benefit women, youths, and seniors. We also celebrate and empower professionals, as we partner with stakeholders to transform our world for the better. The unique issues affecting black communities worldwide has been our key focus, and this is reflected in our history and programs.

Diversity Advancement Network is a nonprofit organization with its headquarters in Canada and initiatives in over 30 countries. Some of our flagship initiatives have made lots of impact, and presently operate as platforms of DAN. The Global Women Leadership Forum, Canada CEO Forum, Black Women Awards, Black Canadian Awards, Caribbean Women Honors & Empowerment, African CEO Summit, and a few others are initiatives that originated from the Diversity Advancement Network.

Our yearly goal is to exceed 100 impactful activities worldwide, and we are committed to building a legacy of excellence for generations to come.

À PROPOS DE NOUS

Le Diversity Advancement Network est une initiative mondiale qui célèbre, unit et responsabilise toutes les personnes pour le bien de la société. Chez DAN, nous créons des opportunités philanthropiques uniques pour célébrer les réussites tout en fournissant des solutions aux problèmes communs dans les communautés marginalisées, par le biais d\’ateliers et de programmes de mentorat.

Notre objectif principal est de faciliter des programmes qui peuvent rassembler les gens tout en favorisant l\’alphabétisation, le développement, la diversité et l\’inclusion. Nous avons organisé plusieurs forums et exécuté des projets au profit des femmes, des jeunes et des personnes âgées. Nous célébrons et responsabilisons également les professionnels, en nous associant à des parties prenantes pour transformer notre monde pour le mieux. Les problèmes uniques affectant les communautés noires dans le monde ont été notre objectif principal, et cela se reflète dans notre histoire et nos programmes.

Diversity Advancement Network est une organisation à but non lucratif dont le siège social est au Canada et des sections dans plus de 30 pays. Certaines de nos initiatives phares ont eu beaucoup d\’impact et fonctionnent désormais en tant qu\’agences de DAN. Le Global Women Leadership Forum, le Canada CEO Forum, les Black Women Awards, les Black Canadian Awards, les Caribbean Women Honors & Empowerment, le African CEO Summit et quelques autres sont des plateformes issues du Diversity Advancement Network.

Notre objectif annuel est de dépasser les 100 activités percutantes dans le monde, et nous nous engageons à bâtir un héritage d\’excellence pour les générations à venir.
