One of the more obvious areas for improvement would be for CEA to stop explicitly deprioritizing mid/late career professionals:
“As mentioned in our 2021 plans, we intend to focus our efforts to bring new people into the community on students (especially at top universities) and young professionals. We intend to work to retain mid- and late-career professionals who are already highly engaged in EA, but we do not plan to work to recruit more mid- or late-career people.”
I agree—why state explicitly that you aren’t recruiting mid or late career people?
Even if its not your priority, why not say something like “we intend to focus our efforts to bring new people into the community on students (especially at top universities) and young professionals. At the same time we will encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to join the community while offering targeted support to some high impact opportunities to get experienced mid/late career professionals on board”
Yes, this is a problem, and a long-standing one at that.

Or something.
Yep, in agreement with this. Wondering if anything about these plans has changed for CEA since 2021, even if it’s just behind the screens.
