Here at Dia&amp;Co, we have our own set of values that govern us as a business and help us better serve our customers. As Dia&amp;Co continues to grow, we wanted to establish a separate set of core values designed explicitly for our community\u2014including both our customers and those interacting with us on our social channels\u2014that define what makes the Dia Community so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we asked our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/uncategorized\/first-class-dia-dominos\/\">Dia Dominos<\/a> to submit values that they saw as fundamental to the growth and preservation of the Dia Community. From there, we categorized submissions into seven values for you to vote on via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/diaandco\/\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/DiaCoNationalCommunity\/\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/diaandco\">Twitter<\/a>, and through our community newsletter, <em>The Fashion FWD<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are grateful for your votes and the ongoing participation, support, and love you show to the Dia Community every single day. Now, we\u2019re excited to share the final five core values, picked by you, that will officially represent the Dia Community to the world\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"439\" height=\"555\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/know\/dia-community-core-values\/?tp_image_id=14435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/06102019_COREVALUES_003.jpg\" alt=\"dia community woman in buffalo plaid shirt woman with red glasses making heart signs with their hands\" class=\"wp-image-14435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/06102019_COREVALUES_003.jpg 439w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/06102019_COREVALUES_003-237x300.jpg 237w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/06102019_COREVALUES_003-300x379.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>1.
