Subject: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION THEME COMMITTEE (D&ITC) Program for Vancouver
The D&ITC has put together a great PDW program designed to address inclusion in the AOM (Thanks to Isabel Metz, our PDW Chair!). Most of our sessions are at the Pan Pacific Vancouver (PPV). We start on Friday with two sessions: 'Effective member interactions across cultures' (PPV Coal Harbour; 9-11 am) and 'Diversity and Inclusion in Career Transitions: Crossing the Academia-Industry Gap' (PPV Crystal Pavilion Ballroom C; 9-10:30am). Our PDW program ends on Sunday with the extremely popular, fun, and interactive social event 'Late Night at the Academy with Dr. Q' (PPV Crystal Pavilion Ballroom A, 10:00PM – 11:30PM). In between, there are several other great D&ITC sessions we invite you to attend such as:

 

Fostering an Inclusive Environment: Empowering Individuals to Build Meaningful Relationships: Friday, August 7, 12:00-2:00pm, PPV Gazebo 1

Good conversational skills and sound relationship building techniques are critically important to career and personal growth for both academics and practitioners. This PDW will teach empowerment and inclusion tools to improve networking effectiveness. Join us to help break down feelings of exclusion within our academy.

 

Changing the Conversation about Work-Life in the Academy to Transform Organizations: Saturday, August 8, 2:45-4:45pm, PPV Crystal Pavilion Ballroom B

The purpose of this workshop is to expand the discussion of work-life issues among management academics. Our goal is to begin to develop relationships and concrete ideas for effecting changes that might improve governance by making it more inclusive.

 

Diversity and Inclusion in the Academy: A Town Hall Meeting and Connections Cafe: Saturday, August 8, 2:00-4:00pm and 4:15-5:45pm, Fairmont Waterfront Hotel Mackenzie Room 1

At this highly interactive Town Hall session, the focus is on participant sharing of inclusion experiences in the Academy, ideas about how to make AOM more inclusive, and best Divisional and individual practices at AOM for diversity and inclusion. Following the Town Hall, you are invited to connect with other members at our friendly Connections Café social mixer.

 

Writing (and talking) differently about diversity: Addressing the normalization of othering: Saturday, August 8, 5-7:30pm, PPV Crystal Pavilion Ballroom B

The purpose of this PDW is to address the normalization of othering and to further promote and establish practices of inclusive language use in writing and talking.

 

We hope to see you soon!
