## What Jamie wrote

I tend to agree with this articles approach. These three focus areas make sense to me and broadly align with where I've been focusing: broaden recruiting efforts, clarify criteria for hiring, increase accountability and transparency in pay and promotion. Broadening the recruiting efforts is something I've been focusing on for a long time. You can do this in the events that you sponsor and show up at, and the organizations you align yourself with. Making sure the hiring process is as bias free as possible and has a clear, well-documented process has also been a focus area. I'd say the last one on transparency has been the hardest one to make progress on.
