Some suggestions:
Recommend the facebook page and group to get people more active.
Let them know that the Vectors can always use help.
Identify other successful non profit organizations and ask them how they increased diversity.
Measure the diversity now, and every 3 month hereafter.
Thanks,

Hi,
This subject has been discussed at the two hackfests of 2016 and 2017. The fact that we want to strive for a more inclusive and diverse community is not up for debate.
This is not just about code, but about development: we need to keep an open and welcoming environment to attract new contributors, and diversity helps a lot to build a healthy community.
This discussion is not about *whether* but *how* to build a more diverse/inclusive community. I mention this program for comments because it was mentioned at the summit, but if you know of similar initiatives, please share them.
