Panels called "Academy Dialogue: It Starts with Us" will also be available to members and the public to foster conversations "on the systemic changes that need to occur in areas such as casting, screenwriting, producing, directing, financing and green-lighting of movies in order to afford opportunities to women and people of color and to help create a new narrative for recovery."

The Academy also passed a resolution enacting maximum term limits for its governors. Starting with the 2020-2021 board term, those on the Board of Governors can serve for up to two, three-year terms, consecutive or non-consecutive, followed by a two-year hiatus after which eligibility renews for up to two additional three-year terms, for a lifetime maximum of 12 years.

Prior to this, governors were allowed to serve three consecutive three-year terms with a one-year hiatus and no lifetime maximum.
