To achieve its mission, the CSMA invites the participation of members of the astronomical community, members of other professional societies and organizations, and any other citizens interested in issues of equity and diversity in the sciences. Participation at all levels of commitment are welcome.

Join the CSMA mailing list and contribute to SPECTRUM
We encourage AAS members to join the CSMA mailing list. This is a good (and easy) way to stay abreast of CSMA activities and initiatives in which to become involved. By signing up, you will automatically receive the CSMA's semi-annual newsletter, SPECTRUM. If you are interested in contributing to SPECTRUM (whether an AAS member or not), please contact the editor.

Learn about minority resources and minority issues
Recognizing that scientists interested in questions of diversity may not always know about relevant resources, or about relevant issues, the CSMA website includes a list of minority resources and a discussion page on various minority issues.

Do you know of a particularly useful resource that others should know about? Is there an issue on which you have some knowledge/expertise to share? Please, let us know!

Other ideas?
Do you have ideas for partnerships that the CSMA should pursue? Do you know of individuals active in diversity issues who might be interested in participating in the CSMA and/or giving an invited talk? Have you heard of funding opportunities that might be appropriate for the AAS/CSMA to consider? Do you simply want to express a general sentiment of support and goodwill? We want to hear from you!
