Key actionable efforts for professional societies

Mission statements	EDI should be a main tenet of mission statements and strategic plans that guide each society’s structure and activities.
Diverse committees	Ensure that ALL society committees are well diversified, that is include members from marginalized groups in non-EDI committees and include people from well-represented groups on EDI committees to amplify the message.
Mentorship structures	Help members of underrepresented groups create robust scientific and social networks. Follow up on awards, for example to ensure awardees from marginalized groups are connected and engaged with others in the society. Establish long-term mentorship structures to support new members and train mentors to-be to ensure the quality of experience.
Surveys	Conduct anonymous, third-party surveys of the target member groups to help identify specific needs and design effective programs aimed at improving EDI.
