HOLLYWOOD PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION UNVEILS HPA ALL

Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) has announced the launch of HPA ALL, a foundational new program that will drive HPA-led initiatives for outreach, education, and networking focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion within the industry. Under the leadership of ALL co-chairs and HPA board members Kari Grubin and Renard Jenkins, HPA ALL is designed to highlight career pathways and create opportunities for contributions by and visibility for underrepresented groups, which in turn, strengthens the media & entertainment community.

The committee that will support the HPA ALL initiative includes representatives from HPA Women in Post (WIP) and HPA Young Entertainment Professionals (YEP), as well as a full commitment from the HPA Board of Directors and staff.

HPA ALL launches with ALL IN, a week of education, connection, and honors May 24-27. Open to everyone with free registration, the event schedule includes a live session with transformational coach and diversity, equity, and inclusion speaker Rajkumari Neogy and social and networking events.

The week-long event culminates in the HPA League Honors which recognize diverse members of the HPA community who shine as examples of innovation and leadership. HPA League Honors will be awarded to five groundbreaking individuals on May 27th. Details for the HPA League Awards will be announced shortly.

It's exciting to see HPA's commitment to true inclusion and equity in this industry, said Jenkins. We're already working with a number of organizational partners and through HPA All In and events like it, we intend to weave equity and inclusion through the fabric of HPA and the industry at large. I'm confident our efforts will yield real change.

HPA's commitment to WIP and YEP over the years laid the groundwork for ALL's ambitious scope, said Grubin. The ALL IN event in May, culminating in the HPA League Honors, is just the first step in integrating the work of ALL into the knowledge exchange, recognition, and community goals of the larger organization.
