Professional STEM societies have been identified as an important lever to address STEM diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this article, we chronicle the highlights of the first Amplifying the Alliance to Catalyze Change for Equity in STEM Success (ACCESS+) convening held in September 2021. Here, we introduce the three-part ACCESS+ approach using a model that entails (i) completion of a DEI self-assessment known as the equity environmental scanning tool, (ii) guided action plan development and iteration, and (iii) sustained participation in a community of practice.
专业的STEM学会已被视为解决STEM领域多样性、公平性和包容性问题的重要杠杆。在本文中，我们记录了2021年9月举行的首次“扩大联盟以促进STEM成功中的公平性变革”（ACCESS+）会议的要点。在此，我们介绍ACCESS+的三部分方法，该方法采用一种模式，包括（i）完成一项名为公平环境扫描工具的多元化、公平性和包容性自我评估，（ii）制定并迭代指导性行动计划，以及（iii）持续参与实践社区。
