Scientific societies aiming to foster inclusion of scientists from underrepresented (UR) backgrounds among their membership often delegate primary responsibility for this goal to a diversity-focused committee. The National Science Foundation has funded the creation of the Alliance to Catalyze Change for Equity in STEM Success (ACCESS), a meta-organization bringing together representatives from several such STEM society committees to serve as a hub for a growing community of practice. Our goal is to coordinate efforts to advance inclusive practices by sharing experiences and making synergistic discoveries about what works. ACCESS has analyzed the approaches by which member societies have sought to ensure inclusivity through selection of annual meeting speakers. Here we discuss how inclusive speaker selection fosters better scientific environments for all and identify challenges and promising practices for societies striving to maximize inclusivity of speakers in their scientific programming.

旨在促进来自代表性不足的（UR）背景的科学家参与的科学协会通常将对此目标的主要责任委托给以多样性为中心的委员会。美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）资助成立了“促进变革，促进STEM成功中的公平变革（ACCESS）”联盟，该组织由几个这样的STEM社会委员会的代表组成，成为不断发展的实践社区的枢纽。我们的目标是通过共享经验并就有效方法进行协同发现，来协调推进包容性实践的工作。爱可信已经分析了会员协会通过选择年会发言人以确保包容性的方法。
