Symposium: Scientists as Effective Policy Leaders
Description
Agenda
You are cordially invited to attend the symposium, Scientists as Effective Policy Leaders: The Role of Inclusivity at the Intersections of Science, Business, Community, and Government. This symposium is being presented by the Science & Technology Policy Fellowships Affinity Groups: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), Mentoring (MAG), and STEM Change through Outreach, Research, and Equity (CORE).
This symposium is being convened to call current and future leaders to action towards growing and maintaining inclusive spaces within a variety of sectors. The event will facilitate interactive discussion with subject matter experts from community, business, and government leadership positions, while providing a venue for these leaders to share their experiences and strategies for developing inclusivity. Attendees will explore opportunities to lead and serve different social strata by promoting and benefiting from intersectionality, engaging in intimate conversations with invited speakers, and participating in traditional panel sessions. We are striving to ensure this is an event that provides tools to our attendees, and will generate a two-page white paper at the conclusion.
