ASME Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Toolkit

A Message from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy Committee

ASME Colleagues,

Your efforts as volunteers are what makes the ASME community so vibrant. ASME respects and celebrates the diversity of our members, and those differences form the backbone of our organization.

ASME seeks to ensure all members feel welcomed and included in the ASME community, to include ASME members of all backgrounds in all volunteer roles, and to provide a culture of respect and courtesy. We encourage ongoing dialogue that will inspire all members to bring these values to their personal and professional interactions.

In the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Toolkit, we have assembled a collection of resources to enhance DEI. Along with your collaborations with professional staff at ASME, we hope the DEI Toolkit will support your amazing work!

Jennifer Cooper, P.E.
Chair, DEI Strategy Committee
