Since completing the DEI Council Charter, the Council has focused on developing a roadmap of efforts to be implemented over its first three years. The council has organized its proposed efforts into three scales of influence: Individual, Organization, and Community. Within each scale, a number of efforts have been proposed, and working groups have been formed to begin implementation of a selection of key efforts beginning in Fiscal Year 2021.
