11/23/2020 – ASE updates the following policy:
ASE Diversity and Inclusion Policy
The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) is a global, multicultural, and inclusive organization. Our membership is open to all those invested in cardiovascular ultrasound. We value the variety of approaches and perspectives in healthcare. We recognize that diversity in all aspects (e.g. age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, profession, work setting and disability) drives innovation and contributes to building a holistic culture that will, in turn, enhance our ability to care for our patients and eventually benefit those living with cardiovascular disease. Including diverse individuals adds value to our activities by increasing the range of experience, ideas and perspectives. We will strive to build a diverse and inclusive organization at all levels, including leadership, staff, councils, committees, taskforces, faculty, writing groups and other volunteer activities. This pattern of diversity and inclusion will be reflected in all our activities internally and with our vendors and partners.
