[LTER-mcm-pi] FW: [LTER-site-exec] Site Reps for LTER ASM Diversity & Inclusion workshop

[Michael Gooseff]

Hi all,

FYI…  This working group is asking for a volunteer from our site.  If you look at the example table below, it’s a mix of grad students and PIs.

PLEASE sign up for this if you are willing to represent us, and pass along to your team members who might be interested and encourage them to sign up as well.

Thanks.

Mike

Subject: [LTER-site-exec] Site Reps for LTER ASM Diversity & Inclusion workshop

To LTER PIs and Site Management teams:

As you've already heard, the LTER Diversity Committee is hosting a workshop at the 2015 ASM on concrete next steps for fostering, sustaining, and benefiting from diversity in all its forms. Two main focus areas of this workshop are 1) building mentoring systems and 2) developing formal diversity plans.

We're asking for your help to make sure all LTER sites are represented in this workshop so we can explore LTER-wide challenges and strategies, and develop a peer network among LTER sites. Whether your site has a rich history of working with diversity and inclusion, or whether you're wondering where to start, your site's voice is important in this workshop and you'll benefit from someone bringing home usable ideas and resources.

Please ensure that someone from your site will attend the Diversity & Inclusion workshop (Tuesday, 9/1, 10am). Ideally, this will be someone in a position to take what they have learned in the workshop and help advance diversity and inclusion back home. Right now, the advance sign-up list only includes people from a handful of sites, many of whom are grad students. (list below so you can see if anyone from your site has already signed up)

Please have attendees sign up at: http://goo.gl/forms/mGVlZU4WnK In the next couple of weeks, we'll be following up with sites that don't yet have a representative, as well as polling the attendees to make sure we're covering the topics that are important to your sites.

Thank you in advance for your help! If you have any questions, most of the workshop organizing team is at ESA this week, so feel free to grab us here or by e-mail (Alan Berkowitz, Elizabeth Cook, Frank Day, Clarisse Hart, Daniel Nidzgorski, Teresa Mourad, Jorge Ramos, Elena Sparrow).

On behalf of the LTER Ad-Hoc Diversity Committee,
Daniel Nidzgorski, Chair
