In February, ASGE's Governing Board approved a five-year Action Plan to advance Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in GI. The goal of ASGE's plan is to be intentional and collaborative in enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) regardless of gender, age, religion, racial/ethnic group, sexual orientation, or disability status throughout the Society, our profession and patient care initiatives. Join us for a webinar to learn about the details of the plan, initiatives underway, and to participate in a dialogue on ways ASGE can enhance its DEI efforts.

1. Educate members on ASGE's action plan to advance DEI in society, profession and community
2. Provide updates on initiative underway at ASGE to advance DEI
3. Seek feedback and input from members on other ways ASGE can enhance DEI in the society

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
