The purpose of the SGIM DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Oversight Workgroup is to facilitate the integration of DEI principles into all aspects of SGIM’s activities. The workgroup’s recommendations prioritize making DEI an integral part of SGIM’s work, ensuring transparency in leadership selection and awards, collecting and sharing membership data, and formalizing a code of conduct to promote DEI within SGIM. They also emphasize the importance of external partnerships, anti-racism strategies, and mechanisms for members to support underrepresented minorities.
