Anti-Racism
The DAA's commitment to anti-racism and our goals
The Digital Analytics Association is committed to eradicating racism by harnessing the passion of DAA members. We use data and the strength of our community to create short- and long-term solutions. We work both within the analytics community and with adjacent groups such as primary, secondary, and university academic institutions to develop diversity, inclusion, and equity within the analytics field. We are a volunteer-led organization, and the strength of our efforts comes from the willingness of our members to share in this sobering yet uplifting work.
We invite you to join us in the cause of improving lives by eliminating systemic racism in the analytics community and beyond.
