AEG 2021 ANNUAL MEETING

Technical Session #12

From Words to Action: Doing More than Talk about Diversity in the Geosciences (Sponsored by Deborah Green) Join us for a symposium featuring speakers who are pioneers in representing diversity in our industry and others who will talk about ways they have embraced diversity in their company or organization. Our speakers will provide tips for including diversity in interview panels, stories about how embracing diverse backgrounds has improved the breadth and quality of leaders, and how establishing groups to call attention to supporting diverse backgrounds has led to employee longevity. Finally, we’ll discuss how AEG can do better for our association and promote the recognition and appreciation of diversity in the geosciences at the university and professional levels. Come with your questions for our speakers—our last 40 minutes will be a forum-style question and answer session.
