EQUITY ADVISORY BOARD

The Equity Advisory Board intersects with SPER programming and activities to promote equity both within the society and in perinatal, pediatric, and reproductive epidemiologic research. The board meets monthly and hosts an open listening session each year where any current or prospective SPER member can attend and discuss topics related to equity, and we plan for activities over the coming year. We update members of the board each June.
