Honestly, I wouldn’t remove it. Leading events, planning, and growing membership are solid leadership and organizational skills. Plus, it shows initiative. If a company sees DEI work as a red flag, is that somewhere you’d want to be? Your volunteer work reflects values and skills they should value too.
Take it off.
But don’t remove the experience, the initiatives you lead, etc. Make things about what you accomplished and why YOU were chosen, not the reason the effort was being done.
You have skills and experience that are of value.
However, “read the room”, any organization you would want to work for has swung to the new POTUS, unless you have a moral objection ( it seems the CEOs don’t) focus on what you can contribute.
Work is about making $$ (with benefits) leading to making more of the same.
If you want to make a difference, take some of that comp and donate it to those orgs that are leading the way.
Keep it. Be proud of who you are. And be proud of what you're doing. I empathize with your concern. There will be a lot of problems in the next months and years. But hiding mention of your leadership qualities seems like a bad idea. If people are going to discriminate against for that, well, they're not going to give you any opportunity anyway.
Not full of fear. Who are you to presume what I feel?
“Show up work….” I assume you’re trying to say show up and work? I can’t show up to a job I don’t have.
“Keep moving forward” I’ve built an e-commerce website for myself to sell seeds from my property, a foraging mobile app that documents foraged plants, tracks processes and product for herbalists and I’ve built a greenhouse to grow my own food, so the next time you want to comment remember how foolish you look when you presume to know what you clearly know nothing about.
remove any reference to the phrase DEI, it is a fed-flag that you may cause issues in the future, companies don't want workers who make waves to much
Absolutely keep it in. Businesses need an organic implementation of these policies, and any good organization realizes it. If it concerns you though, maybe makes sure some "agnostic" work groups/affiliations are listed with it as well. It shows internal corporate engagement across the board.

Keep it. Shows leadership amongst the Corp that decided DEI was a bad word.
DEI is DEAD! If you’re promoting it then you’re part of the problem. Stop being part of the problem. Stop promoting organized racism. DEI focuses on race, sexual preference and skin color and nothing else. What does Walmart, Target, Airlines, Military, Government I’ll have in common? No more DEI.
Pro
In common, they all have a diminishing bottom line. DEI is the Boogeyman for every one trying to maintain the status quo. They are simply trying to cater to a grunt and scratch political base who follow a corrupt and failed businessman, who now thinks he can dance away from his convictions. Or is it golf?
Anyway, a company that sells to the public whose management does not reflect the public that they are selling to will fail. The world is simply getting tanner and more feminine and grunt and scratch crew is losing their collective, small minds.
If you want to be progressive I'd reword it and make it more broad employers are looking for candidates with transferable experience. DEI inclusive language is going to go away and it's going to date you and your work. Sometimes you need to change with the times . If your passionate about working with disadvantage or under represented people I'd still change language I'd just put my search focus on those companies or groups.
I'd say it depends on the relevance to the position you're applying for, or tailoring the resume for. If it implies that you have capabilities that improve your ability to do the job, include it. If not, omit it as extraneous information.
Leave it in. Whether or not it "counts against you" will be likely be on a company by company basis (or, more precisely, a hiring manager by hiring manager basis). If you end up finding that it DOES close too many doors, or is seemingly losing you opportunities you should have had in the bag, you can renegotiate your ethics vs. your need to just have a job then, or considering pivoting into a different field that will be less judgmental about it.
When all the stories of government forcing (or "strongly encouraging") companies to fire you if you didn't get the COVID shot, a lot of people who were skeptics ran out and got them in preparation of that. It ended up not ever going through. I was one of the few people who waited until it officially became an "order" and it never did. I understand that's slightly different than the current circumstance, but the basic idea is the same: no need to do the work for tyrants if you aren't literally being forced to.
Absolutely not. Are you proud of your work?. Did you do the work ? Did it help a deserving community of people? If the answer to those questions are YES, then no I wouldn't remove it. The right people will see it, and you will be rewarded for your hard work and expertise
It takes courage but if you can bear uncertainty- model your values as much as possible. Be proud of your contribution and your impact- it is real. If we all bring our best , we can withstand this ,,, regression. It’s the only way to sustain progress . Thank you
Please do not remove it . Be proud of it and advance the goals of this community in creating a better company. It‘s unfortunate that you even have to consider it . The anti DEI movement is mostky based on fear and ignorance. Help progress to a better place on matters related to diversity , equity and inclusion
I would, but add that you plan company events
I wouldn't. Those are things you have chaired and have probably done a lot of good. That requires skills and abilities you wouldn't have if you didn't participate in them. Hold strong. It's going to get bumpy but hopefully things will get better.
Good question. I guess it depends on what company your applying for. Some companies are sticking with the policies and some aren't.
It seems now it can be used against you.
It they really want to make it fair I would remove the race question from the application process!
I don't think you need to do it.
Anti-DEI usually refers to hiring with the main focus or only focus on identity groups. In some extreme instances, DEI also refers to disparaging certain identity groups such as white or Asian males.
I've talked to some business owners that had a Hispanic resource group, which sole purpose was to make sure that company information and other useful things was communicated properly. Let's just say an executive did not get a policy translated correctly and a whole bunch of people were confused and a lot of inventory got lost in the system.
Yes then run for the border
Take out "DEI" and replace with "outreach and support". Your experience is valuable. The label is emotive, in a bad way. Empathy and merit are not mutually exclusive.
DEI was tied to bank financing. Support it or no credit. Now that it is being dissolved its simply your choice but no longer mandatory.
Absolutely keep it. It is great leadership experience and also shows ability to work with a team. I am guessing that the majority of people, including managers and executives, still believe in diversity in the workplace and support initiatives to provide resources for individuals to connect with and celebrate their identity. A workplace that doesn't recognize or value that everyone brings different backgrounds and life experiences with them to work is not a workplace I would want to support.
That said, if you're going for a government job or a job with a company that works on a lot of government contracts, I might take some of the suggestions regarding reframing your experience.
Check the company careers page. If they offer employee resource groups like the one you chair, then I would feel 100 percent comfortable including your experience without a cover. If the workplace careers page has removed everything about diversity and inclusion, then that's a red flag for you to either skip that company or reframe your experience.
Conservatives don't believe in persecuting people for their views or political beliefs, hence why some horrible ppl are tolerated, don't remove it. Nobody is going to de-bank you or call you a nazi or communist for your personal beliefs those days have passed. As long as we ,no matter our political leaning, keep our politics and personal beliefs to ourselves and don't try to impose these views on others at the work place it shouldn't be an issue, nobody wants their human rights violated and have opposing views forced upon them right or left. Good luck to you and stop worrying what other people might think, you'll be hired based on your qualifictions not your politics and yes it's leadership experience that should be looked upon as just that.
