The INFORMS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee cordially invites all community members to attend a three-part webinar discussing the new report on DEI in STEMM organizations created by the National Academies. Our first webinar, moderated by Dr. Pinar Keskinocak and titled "Bridge the Divide: Unveiling the DEI Gap and Embracing Inclusion," will begin on October 3rd. During the webinar, we will delve into key aspects of the report, including the historical context of racism in the U.S., demographic insights, the experiences of underrepresented individuals, and the leadership's role in fostering inclusivity. Join us for an enlightening and informative discussion with panelists Dr. Emily Vargas, Dr. Michael P. Johnson, and Dr. Cole Smith.
Moreover, Dr. Emily Vargas, one of the report's editors, will provide a 20-minute overview of the entire report and the set of recommendations within it.
