Demographic Data in Your Profile

Beginning in mid-2017 ASMS implemented a demographic data section within the ASMS.org user profile. This project was initiated by the Diversity Committee. Beginning November 2020 we have developed a more user friendly prompt inviting users to update their demographic data. This development coincides with a refresh selections available for questions relating to race/ethnicity, gender, and job sector.

New for 2020-2021 - Our Request to All Users of ASMS.org site

LOOK for pop-up window after you sign-in to this website and click 'My Account'. This pop-up message will take you directly to edit your profile where you can make your selections in response to the updated demographic questions.
The Diversity Committee will prepare an annual infographic to explain the "Face of ASMS" so that we can easily share a snapshot of membership composition, conference presentations and registration. All data is anonymized for privacy before analysis. We anticipate publishing the first infographic in Spring 2021.
The History Committee is at work on a History of Diversity poster for the ASMS history poster series.
