Committee Description:

The Inclusion Diversity Equity Alliance's (IDEA) purpose is to (a) identify the inclusion and diversity strengths, issues, and opportunities within all aspects of SBI; (b) develop strategies and plans to examine ways in which we include and exclude (however unintentionally) SBI members; and (c) systematically examine aspects of SBI to enhance its effectiveness and ability to meet the needs of a growing diverse membership.

*** To ensure IDEA is effective and intentional, interested volunteers should consist of a broad swath of SBI members. Those representative of a racial/ethnic/minority group (i.e. people of color), lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender, or a person with a disability are highly encouraged to apply. Interested members should complete the volunteer application requirements outlined below.

Please provide a letter of interest outlining the following items:


1. Please describe your professional strengths or areas of expertise and how they will contribute to the enhancement of this committee.

2. What interests you about the position for which you are volunteering?

3. For previous committee experience, please give an example of a past accomplishment that added value to the volunteer position you held. If you have no previous committee experience, please share a relevant example from a professional or personal accomplishment.
