The Equity and Inclusion Committee recommends priorities, policies, and practices to ensure progress toward all of GSA’s programs and practices representing the needs of the diverse communities we serve. These recommended policies and practices should foster a welcoming, global, and inclusive culture supported by values, attitudes, and behaviors. The committee encourages Editors in Chief, Conference Committee Chairs, Meeting Organizers, Committee Chairs, other volunteers, and staff to enact recommended policies and practices to ensure appropriate diversity and inclusion in membership on appointed Boards, Committees, and Working Groups, along with fostering a culture inline with GSA’s values. It also monitors and reports on the progress of work in these areas.
