The Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) leadership and staff are committed to ensuring diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the PAS Meeting and related activities. PAS is committed to providing a safe environment that welcomes the respectful expression of diverse opinions and perspectives and is open to collegial, energetic debate and dialogue. The PAS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee established by the PAS Board leads the PAS’s efforts to fulfill this commitment.
As a PAS partner society, the APA has been asked to appoint an individual to serve on the PAS DEI Committee. I am writing today to solicit nominations by March 15, 2023.
