 1. **Define our goals for diversity**. First, we need a better understanding of the most important axes of diversity that we wish to design around. Gender is clearly a critical gap to cover, but there are many other important axes of diversity as well. For example, as an organization that serves a global community, it is important that we have global perspectives represented in our leadership as well.
 2. **Define mechanisms for leadership and governance that includes representation along these axes**. Leadership at a staff level is one way to ensure representation of diverse perspectives, but there are many other ways to bring voices into the conversation as well. We aim to explore new ways of bringing diverse voices into the strategic direction of the organization and provide mechanisms for holding us accountable to our values. For example, we intend to grow a _board_ to guide 2i2c's strategy and hold its Executive Director accountable for achieving impact - this is another opportunity to bring diverse perspectives into our leadership.
-3. **Make a plan for improving leadership diversity within our team**. Whatever mechanisms we create for diverse leadership, we know that one of them needs to be improving our diversity at a staff leadership level. Our staff are the ones that spend the most time working on - and have the most leverage over - our strategy and mission, and it's important that our staff leadership is a good representation of the diverse perspectives of the communities we serve. This might mean investing more heavily in reaching broad applicant pools for new positions or seeking external consultation for how we can avoid unintentionally sending exclusionary signals to others in our communications and outreach.
-4. **Continue improving our systems of delivery and work**. Finally, we believe that a crucial aspect of improving the diversity in our organization is to improve our systems for delivery, reliability, and accountability across the organization. We have [made a lot of progress in improving our delivery systems](../delivery-improvements/index.md) and will continue this improvement as an organization.

 We hope that this post both makes transparent a distinct lack of diversity within our organizational leadership and provides clarity for some of our plans to improve.
