Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)

The Rocky Mountain Branch of ASM recognizes and supports the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the composition of our branch membership. We know that DEIB efforts are essential for branch activities to provide a strong and supportive community.

 

Our branch officers promote DEIB to further advancements within the microbial sciences. We aim to provide equitable scientific training that promotes accessible microbiology research and education for everyone in Colorado and Wyoming. Branch officers are responsible for identifying and providing opportunities to diverse individuals with varying expertise.

 

RMB wants individuals to feel empowered to share different ideas and styles toward education and research. We support this effort by listening and elevating voices that have historically been excluded from the microbial sciences.
