The Physics and Astronomy STEMM Equity Achievment (SEA) Change is a collaboration among multiple physics and astronomy professional societies within the AIP Federation, as well as AAAS SEA Change. P/A SEA Change involves departments undergoing a self-assessment, reflecting on what the data tell them, and creating a 5-year action plan, with metrics, to address some of the equity, diversity, and inclusion issues. We have two cohorts and are planning to for a full program. This presentation provides an overview of our past, what we have learned, and discussion for P/A SEA Change's future.

The American Association of Physics Teachers participated in a pilot of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Self-Assessment of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) for STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) Professional Societies[1] in late 2021 and early 2022.  AAPT was one of four professional societies that participated in the pilot.  The self-assessment is the first in an iterative process that professional societies can take in developing an action plan around DEI.  AAPT completed three sections:  Education, Professional Development, and Certification; Publishing; and Community Building.  Completing these sections involved a strong collaboration between AAPT staff and members.  The results of the self-assessment were used in the development of the DEI Roadmap and 2022 AAPT Strategic Plan.  A summary of how the self-assessment has been leveraged, its future use, and the status of completing other sections of the self-assessment will be discussed.
