APMA News - September/October 2023 - 11
William Harris
IV, DPM
In 2020, APMA released a Statement from APMA
on Current Events indicating that the association
unequivocally condemns all acts of racism and
violence. Shortly afterward, APMA announced
new efforts to address racism and disparities
that included a list of action items to achieve
and expand.
In 2021, Past President Seth Rubenstein, DPM,
created the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task
Force, chaired by APMA Trustee William Long,
DPM. The mission of this task force was to explore
and identify potential diversity, equity, and inclusion
gaps in APMA practices, policies, and procedures
that have resulted from historic inaction
and silence.
At the 2022 APMA House of Delegates, Dr. Long
Brooke Bisbee, DPM
presented a final report detailing the efforts of the
task force. Its number-one recommendation was
to create a DEI committee to continue the work
of the task force. In July 2022, APMA announced
its DEI Committee appointments. The committee
is tasked with evaluating the feasibility of and implementing
the recommendations of the Diversity,
Equity, and Inclusion Task Force.
APMA DEI Committee Chair William Harris IV,
Patrick DeHeer, DPM
DPM, and Board of Trustees liaisons Brooke Bisbee,
DPM, and Patrick DeHeer, DPM, reflect on the DEI
Committee's beginnings and what it has set out
to accomplish.
How does the DEI Committee promote
DEI within the profession, and what
initiatives will be or have been implemented
to increase representation?
Dr. Harris: We will be using the data and statistics
that have been collected over the years to guide
us in areas that need improvement along with
areas that we have excelled in since the development
of the task force. We have also hired a
consultant, Sharonda Simmons [see page 14], to
advise us on the organizational changes needed
