Challenges for SMT
Raise the membership rates of women by attracting more women to the Society;
Include more women on editorial boards; Encourage women to submit paper proposals for
annual meetings; Encourage women to submit journal articles for
publication; Examine reasons why journal acceptance rates for
women are significantly lower than those for men.
