[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.
