You\u2019d love to have more diversity in your group, but folks are either not showing up \u2013 or they attend once and don\u2019t come back. What can you do to foster, promote, and support diversity and an inclusive space? In this workshop, we\u2019ll cover 5 topics: Shifting the way you think about diversity; how to attract and foster a diverse community; creating a welcoming environment, both in person and online; how to encourage more people from diverse backgrounds to step up to be speakers and leaders; and how to be a better ally. You will walk away with an action list to start making changes right away. This is not just for organizers, but anyone who wants to champion this kind of environment, now or in the future!
