DEI Mission Statement
The Society of American Military Engineers is fully committed to promoting a culture of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in all that we do.
As a professional organization, our unwavering standard is that all individuals feel valued and respected regardless of gender, race, gender identity, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation, education, disability, veteran status, or other dimension of diversity.
Together, we will achieve that commitment and standard through our DEI Operational Plan, driven by our vision to make lasting impacts on the Society and the future of the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) profession.
