| Gender,
Ethnicity and Disability Status: Why do professional
associations, including the ABA, want to know your gender,
ethnicity and disability status? Many professional associations,
including the ABA, seek to reach out to women, ethnic
minorities and those with disabilities through targeted
membership efforts. Associations also seek to balance
committees by making them inclusive and representative.
Identifying your gender, ethnicity and disability status
on association membership records allows the association
to do a better job in meeting goals of inclusiveness,
and to gauge the success of its outreach efforts. |
