In 2021, Aspen Digital joined a diverse group of tech companies, researchers, and DEI experts in publishing the landmark ACT Report, which outlines a wide range of recommendations for improving the representation, inclusion, and empowerment of underserved and marginalized communities. As a next step to this work, The Aspen Institute is launching the Tech Equity Accountability Mechanism (TEAM), a new initiative that will build off the recommendations of the ACT Report by partnering with tech leaders to standardize DEI data collection, provide expert support, amplify best practices, and fairly hold the industry as a whole accountable. In short, TEAM will carry the vision and recommendations from the ACT Report into measurable, collective action across tech.
