The first ASEE Diversity Committee Strategic Plan (2012) formed the basis for the 2014-15 Year of ACTION on Diversity.

The second Strategic Plan, approved by the ASEE Board in 2016, focused on engaging ASEE in more widespread considerations of diversity. The plan was organized into two main goals. To achieve each goal, the Commission has detailed strategies, tasks, and task measures.
