diversity. Of note, a leadership retreat on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) was held in August 2020 that included GSA's Executive Committee, GSA staff, and 20
invited diversity leaders in the geosciences. That discussion, led by facilitator and expert trainer Dr. Nita Mosby-Tyler of The Equity Project LLC, identified activities
likely to have a measurable and lasting impact. Additional details, including priorities and the existing DEI initiatives in GSA's strategic plan, are online.
