Collaborate with other TAB groups and committees to increase representation of URGs across TAB and its OUs.</li> <li>Insure inclusive recognition of achievements within TAB and the greater IEEE.</li> <li>Continually identify processes within the organization that are barriers to representation and inclusion, and suggest improvements.</li> <li>Evaluate the above ongoing to insure the needs of underrepresented groups are being met.</li> <li>Partner and collaborate with other IEEE OUs to develop a common message and programs on diversity and inclusion.</li> </ol> <h3 style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; color: #333333;">Awards</h3> <p>The <strong>IEEE TAB Award for Society/Council Impact in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion</strong> (the "award") honors an IEEE Society/Council that has had a significant impact driving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. In addition, the Society/Council must have demonstrated a strategic approach that encourages DEI for its volunteers, members, and the wider technical profession, and support that strategy through the development of DEI-focused activities, programs, and services.</p> <p><strong>2022 Award Recipient</strong>: The inaugural recipient of the award (2022) was the <strong><a href="https://ieee-ims.org/">IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS)</a></strong>. IMS was among five Society/Council entrants for the award, and was selected as the award-winner for having, "Systematically incorporated DEI concepts and practices in programs and actions and experienced significant growth in the diversity of active members." </p> <p><strong>2023 Award Nominations</strong>: The 2023 award cycle is now closed. The recipient was announced at the November TAB Meeting.
