s detailed above, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø has already started a number of efforts intended to highlight the diversity of the membership. Although Executive Council is aware of these efforts, they may not be as visible to the membership. This effort generally involves lower cost, immediate action steps that can be implemented through MCR’s Diversity Subcommittee.
- Short term actions:
- Explicitly solicit special panels on diversity-related topics for conference; develop diversity page for conference program.
- Highlight affinity groups related to diversity on ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø webpage
- Highlight diversity efforts on ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø webpage
- Develop member profiles to showcase member diversity in newsletter and on website
- Medium term actions:
- Develop an annual report on diversity efforts that spans the complete landscape of ºÚÁϳԹÏ꿉۪s diversity efforts (not just membership diversity)
- Promote the MCR Diversity Subcommittee as a group that helps ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø monitor the success of its diversity efforts
