IDSA on Diversity, Inclusion and Equity
Challenge
IDSA recognizes the opportunity to make concerted efforts to ensure that business practices and priorities reflect the populations we serve.

Our activities to enhance a welcoming environment within the Society have allowed us to remain nimble in advancing our IDA&E values in our governance practices, showcase the rich diversity of our members, promote allyship and cultural humility, and support interest groups.
IDSA has made steady progress systematically embedding various structures, practices, and policies. As industry leaders in IDA&E, transparency and equity in our governance practices have led to higher levels of diversity in our Board of Directors.
IDSA has implemented a number of measures that systematically increased transparency, yielded an unprecedented increase in diverse applicants and volunteer selections throughout the Society and increased accountability for the organization and its leaders.
Develop a diverse, robust and empowered ID/HIV workforce and leadership. Reduce health disparities and structural inequities, including for pandemic preparedness. - IDSA released an inaugural IDA&E Progress Report.
