Anyone who believes in peace, justice and equality should belong to at least two of our inter-professional associations. No matter where you live in the country or world, no matter what kind of work you do, no matter what level of education you have, no matter what your nationality or ethnicity happens to be, no matter what your career goals are, we have an association just for you. We only ask that you have an open mind and respect African-American culture and contributions to society.
Inter-Professional Associations Canon
Inter-professional associations are organizations that group together participants from all stages of the same chain, with the objectives of elaborating policies, guaranteeing equity among the members, facilitating the improvement of the performance of the chain and defending the interests of the members and the greater society. There are over 20 such associations within INVR Standards / HHEW operating along the principles of the TALO Leadership Theory and W.E.B. DuBois' Guiding Hundredth concept. Each association is officially and publicly recognized throughout the year and at the Annual HHEW Leaders Conference & Retreat. Associations are open to all (with the exception of the HHEW 100, which is open to 100 people by invitation).
Some are involved in the development and monitoring of professional educational, media and leadership programs, and the updating of skills, and thus perform professional certification to indicate that a person possesses qualifications in the subject area.
The current 22 associations are as follows (and for more information about joining or helping with their development, please contact us at: associations@invrhhew.org):
