Section Two → Partnership
Partnership Introduction →
ADA is made up of our member groups (small ADA clubs). To be truly diverse we know we must have representation from all groups that make up our school community. This is why we are extending an invitation to you and your group! We know that together we can accomplish so much more and that we have the potential to do so much more.
The following is what being a member group of ADA would look like. ADA would provide assistance with coordination among other groups, liaising between the groups and the administration, and providing ideas and volunteers.
ADA does not want to remove small/independent groups, we simply want to offer a structure for them to work together, achieve larger goals, and support each other in the goal we all share: furthering representation, cultural education, and acceptance.
