Action Forum Members

The Forum on Diversity in the Engineering Workforce is a partnership of industry, government, university, education, and outreach leaders created to provide a unique medium for dialogue among stakeholders in the national engineering enterprise. Its purpose is to facilitate the exchange of ideas about the best means to increase the diversity of the engineering workforce, to actively disseminate information about the role and importance of diversity to the U.S. engineering enterprise, and to engage in actions that will expand dialogue and create change.
