The contributors examine these problems in chapters separated into two parts, focusing on the themes of: Organizations getting to know membership and better serving their needs through inclusive demographic data collection; and organizations being inclusive of STEM professionals who are experiencing career transitions.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCandice M.
