Our VISION is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) spaces where a diversity of women and gender minorities thrive because of cultures that value inclusive excellence.
WHO ARE WE?
We are representatives from five partner organizations and initiatives recognized for national STEM diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leadership.
WHAT IS OUR MISSION?
We seek to accelerate the awareness, adoption, and adaptation of NSF ADVANCE evidence based; gender-related; diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, practices, and programs within and across STEM professional societies.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
We facilitate and support DEI efforts of STEM professional society “Boundary Spanners” –individuals who foster connection(s) between organizations for mutual benefit by finding, translating, and diffusing DEI information and resources; working to support STEM DEI reform; and “weaving” together stakeholders and partners towards collective DEI goals (e.g., Hill, 2019).
