3 1) Infuse gender equity content into CCAS professional development programs in a sustainable way 2) Maximize opportunities for positive impact of CCAS ADVANCE on individuals underrepresented in STEM disciplines 3) Develop, utilize and make widely available a set of robust case studies that incorporate gender equity elements
