\begin{abstract}
Committees touch nearly every facet in the science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research enterprise. However, the
role of gatekeeping through committee work has received little attention
in Earth and space sciences. We propose a novel concept called,
``regenerative gatekeeping'' to challenge institutional inertia,
cultivate belonging, accessibility, justice, diversity, equity, and
inclusion in committee work. Three examples, a hiring committee process,
a seminar series innovation, and an awards committee, highlight the need
to self-assess policies and practices, ask critical questions and engage
in generative conflict. Rethinking committee work can activate
distributed mechanisms needed to promote change.%
