Mentoring – develop a mentoring support program for new administrators of color. Internal leadership – equip members of color to take leadership roles within the organization. Recruitment & Retention – implement strategies that specifically increase recruitment of minority administrators through ACSA’s statewide membe3rship campaign and increasing retention rates for ALL members (regardless of ethnicity) by providing engaging opportunities for involvement at both the local and state levels. Data – collect and analyze data to inform the organization of current membership gaps.   Results will help shape ACSA’s direction on membership development. Communication – increase awareness of issues regarding membership diversity and ACSA’s efforts to promote equity in standards-based system.
