The conference is organized by representatives of  various Community
Colleges and Universities in Washington state.  It has  around 250
attendees each year and serves as a good way to connect UW faculty
and staff of color with peers in Washington state for learning,
networking and  best-practice sharing.  Sending faculty and staff to
this conference is  a great way to collaborate and gain new ideas
and/or present innovative programs  or services that help improve the
climate, retention and/or recruitment of  faculty and staff of color
on campus.

Please forward to anyone that might be interested  in attending.
