Diversity Task Force

Chair: Chris Lane, clane.deluxe@mgm.com
Board Liaison: Chris Horak, jchrishorak@aol.com

Mandate
In 1999, the AMIA Board of Directors approved the creation of an ad hoc task force on issues of diversity. The purposes of the task force are to:

  • Define what is meant by "diversity" as it applies to AMIA and the field of moving image archiving.
  • Research what other associations in related fields have done to increase diversity; what has been effective and what has not?
  • Draft an AMIA position statement on diversity for the Board to consider; this statement, if approved would become AMIA policy and be included in the association's strategic plan.
  • Recommend specific goals and objectives for increasing diversity in AMIA and the field as a whole.
