Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Considerations for Symposium Organizers

  • Does your symposium submission represent the breadth of work being done on a topic by speakers with different demographic backgrounds?
  • Are there individuals from typically underrepresented groups (e.g., early career professionals, non-male, non-White) who may have been overlooked that you could invite to be a part of your symposium?
  • What resources (e.g., documents, webinars, blog posts, etc.) would be helpful to you and others in helping to recruit symposium organizers from underrepresented groups?

To be eligible to submit to this program, a minimum of one organizer must be a US federal government employee.
