Minority advancement is a joint professional responsibility, recognized by many epidemiology and public health organizations. Liaison members from several epidemiology professional societies serve on the College's Committee on Minority Affairs, and more are welcome. In this time of questionning of affirmative action, it is particularly important that professional societies reaffirm our commitment to its goals. Together we can enable the epidemiology profession collectively to reflect the multiracial, multicultural, pluralistic society that we belong to and serve.

We invite you to share this Statement with your colleagues and officers in the professional societies and organizations in which you participate. Please encourage them to give their formal endorsement to the Statement and to develop a liaison relationship with the ACE Committee on Minority Affairs. Any member of the Committee will be happy to answer questions and to discuss this request.
