Abstract

ABSTRACT: In a Vision Session at the 34th annual NASIG conference, NASIG's Equity & Inclusion Committee coordinated an interactive town hall meeting to discuss as a group what diversity and inclusion means for the organization and its members. Representatives from the Committee introduced questions and facilitated small group discussions among participants. Insights and suggestions were shared during the session, via email to the Committee, and on notecards that were collected at the end of the meeting. The Equity & Inclusion Committee designed these exercises and feedback channels to shape their future activities and service to the community.
