Did you know that a recent major effort of the D&I committee was a member survey to better understand representation and engagement? One of the first manuscripts from that survey was recently published in @AmJEpi!

The @societyforepi member survey on diversity was a tremendous effort - to design, implement, analyze, and publish. Thanks to all those who participated!

#DandITwitterTakeover (2/n)

We learned a tremendous amount about who members are and what their experiences at #SER have been.

Snapshots:

-Most SER members were White and female (as were survey respondents).
-Members from 8 institutions composed 25% of SER’s membership.

#DandITwitterTakeover (3/n)

Snapshots:
-Men were more likely than women to report being a member of SER for at least 10 years
-Individuals from a number of minority groups felt less welcome than individuals in majority groups (race and religion)

#DandITwitterTakeover (4/n)

Snapshots:
-Members who felt welcome participated in activities requiring self-initiation
-Females were less likely to be chosen for society-initiated activities while individuals who had been involved in SER for >10 years were more likely to be.

Did you feel your participation in SER was properly captured by this survey and analysis?

#DandITwitterTakeover (6/n)

Is there more you want to know about SER membership?

#DandITwitterTakeover (7/n)

What other questions should we have asked on the survey? What should we ask on future surveys that would help understand members' experiences in SER?
