About the IASLC DEI Initiative
As the IASLC continues to grow, we are purposefully working towards being an equitable organization that supports and welcomes members from all backgrounds. Our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within IASLC directly supports our vision to create and support a diverse community where everyone feels like they belong.
In 2021, the IASLC Board of Directors formalized the Association’s commitment to DEI by changing the bylaws to include the following as an organizational priority: To define new and meaningful strategies to remove barriers, including those resulting from systemic disparities that impact (i) access to research and funding for those engaged in any research on lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies and (ii) access to care for and information about lung cancer and other thoracic malignancies for patients and their families.
Why Participate in the IASLC 2024 DEI Initiative?
