About Us
CADIA was launched in 2017 with the idea that diverse talent had long been overlooked and undervalued in the automotive industry. CADIA set about to create avenues of success for people of all diversity dimensions in automotive by providing professional development opportunities. CADIA soon turned its focus to help create systemic, organizational change at the company level.
CADIA is a mission-driven, member-oriented organization to provide networks, insights and practical advice to companies in the auto-mobility space.
CADIA helps organizations identify and remove obstacles and ingrained structures that are preventing even the most well-intentioned employee development initiatives from delivering the outcomes they aim to achieve.
Our Mission
CADIA is dedicated to driving opportunities for all in the automotive industry. With a varied network of over 75 members and clients—including automotive manufacturers, dealer groups, and tier suppliers—we are committed to working with companies to foster workplaces where employees of all backgrounds and skill levels can thrive and advance their careers.
By developing, connecting, and empowering the next generation of automotive leaders, we drive innovation, competitiveness, and long-term sustainability across the industry.
