NEW: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee

Committee Chair: Lani Steffens Coordinator: Dana Middleton (Contact committee)

One of SMANA’s key areas of focus in its strategic plan is to make DEI a cornerstone of the organization, reflected both internally and externally. To help accomplish goals associated with this focus area, SMANA formalized a new DEI Committee in early 2022. We are looking for additional volunteers to help us get this new and important committee up and running. Read SMANA’s DEI Pledge.
