Diversity isn’t an initiative. It’s a corporate mindset, foundational to the character of any enterprise and a global industry-wide issue. At Page, we believe we have the responsibility to make sure that all are welcome in our profession and that our organizations benefit from the diverse perspectives and talents, particularly those who are currently underrepresented. We’re committed to ensuring our profession reflects and serves a diverse global society.
Our approach is to align all of what we do with our Page Principles. We recognize that communicators must listen and engage with a wide range of stakeholders. Those stakeholders are not monolithic, they reflect diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives. We also believe an enterprise’s true character is expressed by its people. That’s why we’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment where our Page staff, our members’ teams and across our industry, everyone feels welcome, valued and are able to contribute meaningfully to achieve organizational goals.
This commitment requires more than intent. We have to prove this commitment with action.Through partnerships, programs and thought leadership, we aim to build our Page community and to elevate the profession to be more inclusive, equitable, and representative of the world we serve.
We focus our efforts across four areas:
To achieve these goals, Page has partnered with organizations including:
Page has two leadership development programs:
The "Future Leaders Experience" is a two-year, senior executive education program designed for high-potential communicators. Participants will engage in six three-day sessions over two years, focusing on interactive discussions, knowledge sharing, case studies, and thought leadership.
Mentoring To Accelerate Progress and Success (M.A.P.S.) is a flexible, one-year mentorship experience that connects senior communication leaders with professionals at all levels (particularly those who belong to under-represented groups), from early-career to senior leaders, who are seeking guidance, career support, and meaningful professional relationships. MAPS is a two-way learning opportunity, where both mentors and mentees gain valuable insights and expand their networks.
The program, free for mentees anywhere in their communications career journey, guarantees a mentor from the esteemed Page and Page Up Membership. The 2025 applications are currently open. If you are interested in being a mentor or mentee for the next cohort, please contact Tiffany Cook at tcook@page.org.
Page produces signature thought leadership grounded in extensive research to advance the profession and the professionals within it as strategic partners into the future. Across our body of work, themes like the role of recruiting, developing and retaining great talent and the importance of generating multistakeholder value consistently emerge as key drivers of impact. These insights also reinforce the importance of understanding how to maximize outcomes of teams with diverse backgrounds and perspectives and to communicating effectively cross-culturally. Many of these studies can be found in our Knowledge Base.
In 2024 and 2025, Page collaborated with industry partners on two research studies that gave insights into the global public’s expectations of business and how CCOs are navigating increasingly complex societal pressures, and one that showed that leading CCOs are leveraging purpose-driven frameworks to guide decision-making in areas increasingly subject to political scrutiny—affirming that equity, inclusion, and sustainability remain core to stakeholder trust and long-term business value.
Additionally, Page offers member-only content sharing through our blogs, Page Conversations, Think Thursdays, regional meetings, and conferences.
