[Villanueva Anselmo]

2007 National Diversity Conference Call for Proposals - Due November 1

 

Please find attached the Call for Proposals for workshop sessions which will form the backbone of the 2007 National Diversity Conference in Seattle, April 25 - 27.  The theme for this conference is "Diversity Leadership:  Modeling Systemic Change."  

Seattle will mark the second national diversity conference sponsored by the Change Agent States for Diversity and Engagement Consortium.  Hosted by Washington State University Extension, other sponsors include the ECOP National Extension Committee on Diversity, CSREES, and the National Diversity Center.  

The Change Agent States for Diversity and Engagement project (http://www.ediversitycenter.net/casde/index.php), initiated by Cooperative Extension, is a consortium of land grant institutions in fourteen states (including Washington) bringing the needed technical skills and training to each of the member states. Through this multi-state approach, the consortium is developing successful models and systemic change strategies to support greater diversity and welcoming climates throughout the land-grant system. 

The goals of the project are:

*	to build the capacity of the Land Grant system to function inclusively and effectively in a multicultural world; and 
*	to set standards and implement a vision for supporting healthy, thriving, culturally diverse communities through Extension, research and academic programs. 

 

Please consider submitting a proposal and encouraging the change agents that you know to submit proposals to showcase diversity leadership in our system.  Thank you for your support and for sharing this call for proposals with your colleagues.
