Dear Mike,

The staff at Diversity in Action: Advancing STEM Professionals and Students is very happy to inform you that BDPA has been selected by our readers as a 2016 "Dedicated to STEM Diversity" recipient in the nonprofit category.

In May, DIA launched its first reader survey, allowing our readers to submit the names of companies, nonprofits, government and defense agencies, institutions of higher learning and individuals that they believe are advocates for diverse STEM professionals and students.

We received amazing feedback from our readers, and the list of survey results will be published in our November/December issue of Diversity in Action. Starting in that same issue, we will also share stories from our top nominees dedicated to diversity and inclusion and how they are supporting the next generation of STEM professionals.

We encourage you to share this honor with your colleagues, family and friends, and we have included a "Dedicated to STEM Diversity" badge that you may use to promote this special honor.

Congratulations!
Jordan Weiss, President
Lindsay Penticuff, Managing Editor
