SMDM tries to foster an environment that embraces inclusion of all people, provides a collegial and respectful atmosphere, and supports intellectual, thoughtful engagement. To promote this type of environment and community, SMDM is convening a Special Committee to draft recommendations related to inclusion and conduct in SMDM business and scientific meetings.

This survey of SMDM members is designed to help the Special Committee determine the scope of its work. We hope to identify both positive things at SMDM that need to be continued and concerning issues that need to be addressed. All feedback will be anonymous. 

Question Title

* 1. First, we would like to ask you to reflect on how welcome you feel at SMDM. Please identify any specific actions, policies, meeting components, or individual behaviors that you believe contribute to an appreciative, supportive, diverse, and/or culturally-sensitive environment during SMDM meetings and in conduct of SMDM business.
