Founded in January of 2021, the PNW-ISA Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee was formed after the PNW-ISA Board of Directors recognized the need for intentional leadership with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion within our chapter. As a science-based organization, we value diversity in our membership, understand that the actions of our chapter and our membership have an impact on social equity, and want to ensure safety for all Chapter members.
For these goals, the DEI Committee provides recommendations to the Board of Directors to ensure that our organization serves as a welcoming and safe space for all Chapter members and that we consider the impacts of our work on one another and the communities that we serve.
If you would like to be a part of this effort or have ideas for how we can function better as an organization, join us! The DEI Committee is currently reviewing applications for new members. Apply today by completing this short interest form.
