Mission
The American Conference on Diversity's Vision, Mission and Philosophy are as follows:
- Vision
- To work with New Jersey’s leaders to create and enhance a society that embraces social justice for us all.
- Mission
- To value diversity, educate and empower leaders, promote inclusion and respect in schools, workplaces and communities. By valuing diversity in schools, we as adults have to teach and model to the children what diversity is and how to use it and become familiar with it.
- Philosophy
- That the work of the American Conference on Diversity is among the most important activities we can do to create a positive, inclusive society. It is the unfinished business of living in a highly diverse state: educating and empowering our next generation of leaders; enhancing New Jersey workplaces; and helping to create inclusive communities. The American conference on Diversity takes an historic mission and creates programs and activities relevant and vital to 21st Century life. It’s a journey we can all take together.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
“I am succeeding quite well in my work and the future looks well. What special mission is God preparing me for? Cutting off all earthly ties and isolating me as it were.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
