| Abstract: | Professional organizations in higher education play a crucial role in shaping policy and supporting professionals. This study focuses on how these organizations, particularly the Public Policy Division (PPD) of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), help members navigate anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) movements. Using an issues-based advocacy framework, the authors examine findings from a pilot self-study about NASPA PPD's responses to anti-DEI crises, including research, initiatives, and programming. By analyzing NASPA PPD's efforts, the authors aim to provide valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners that support a culture of continuous improvement and adaptation to sustain DEI efforts amid political challenges. |
