At their May 18, 2022 meeting, the IDEA Committee worked through defining what Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accountability meant to them.  Here is what they came up with:

Inclusion: an active state of being valued, respected, and supported that focuses on the needs of every individual and ensures the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve their full potential, while harming none.

Diversity: a broad array of differences in identity, perspective, skill, and style.

Equity: practices and policies that are just, transparent, and consistent which identify and eliminate barriers preventing the full participation of all groups.

Accountability: defining metrics, taking measurements, and reporting that progress on a regular basis as it relates to Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity.
