  • 1.  References to support an ASCE-DEI Strategic Plan

    Of course, there are more.

    I thought these would help us open up a dialogue.

    • Reflection:

    Every major initiative is framed within a program, and that program

    gets subdivided into projects.

    Cheers,

    Bill

    Appreciate all the food for thought Bill.

    All organizations globally have much work to do in the inclusion space and that fact is not lost on ASCE. I, however, applaud ASCE's inclusive approach to strategically planning DEI by integrating efforts within the broader ASCE strategic plan. I encourage you to contact board leaders who are championing the systemic integration of DEI across the strategic priorities such as the engineering workforce.

    I encourage all those interested in learning more about the ASCE strategic plan to visit the ASCE website at About ASCE | ASCE and explore the plan. Members are also encouraged to contact their leaders as well to get more information of interest - in this case, the integration of DEI. Contact information can be found on the website.

    Thanks Lisa.

    Q. ASCE links or  names to locate these leaders? (National and/or Regional?)

    Cheers,
