The Missouri College Personnel Association (MoCPA) does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, affectional/sexual orientation, or disability in any of its policies, procedures, or practices. The non-discrimination policy covers membership and access to association programs and activities including, but not limited to publications, workshops, and annual conferences.

In parallel with the statement by the American College Personnel Association (the parent organization of MoCPA), MoCPA recognizes that equal access cannot be achieved until individuals are accepted in an environment that is free of prejudice and open to all, regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, gender, or disability. The Association affirms the value of diversity within its own ranks and on the campuses of the state. The Association is committed to advancing the practice and intent of affirmative action in all of its activities. Further, the Association is committed to an on-going program of education for its members that focuses on the elimination of prejudices, stereotypes, and interpersonal behaviors that adversely affect these colleague-professionals.
 

MoCPA will actively encourage members of under-represented groups to participate in the organization by: 
a. Consistent communication with organizations that specifically represent these populations; 
b. Charging the Membership Coordinator with maintaining information on organization membership and reporting areas of under-representation to the Association leadership.
