Hi all,

I've been working on recruiting co-presenters for an ASTC 2008 
session through various channels and wanted to make one last push for 
anyone interested in getting involved.

I was toying with a title of "Why is diversity important?" with 
potential talking points revolving around the following:
- How are centers handling issues of diversity as they relate to 
visitorship and staff;
- What are the various contextual definitions of diversity, 
specifically within the science center setting;
- How does one help staff to understand and value the importance of 
diversity (my personal interest);

I was picturing a workshop format with a mix of presentation and 
small group discussion.

Hannah Shepherd from the ThinkTank (Birmingham, UK; access & 
inclusion officer) has tentatively agreed to co-present.

Everything best,

Jamie Alonzo
