*Apologies for cross-postings*

The GDO Division is actively enhancing the inclusion of international members, and fostering research on international gender and diversity issues.  As a result, we have developed an interactive PDW for the 2009 AoM meeting that is likely to be of interest to many members of the SIM division.

The date for the session has not been announced, but we have listed the format and participants in the session below.  We do hope you will join us for this interesting session.
