The Societies Consortium launched in 2019 following a June 2018 NASEM report which found pervasive sexual harassment in STEMM persists despite decades of legal prohibitions. Its goal is to help advance inclusive conduct, climate, and culture to ensure excellence and integrity in STEMM. AWIS is one of the inaugural member societies. Total membership is now 130 STEMM societies.
