Subcommittees for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Efforts

Each semester, the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity Committee (IDEC) brainstorms and prioritizes action items to pursue. Based on the priority and interest level, subcommittees are formed to move actions forward, and to build relationships within subcommittees. Any ICS community member can join a subcommittee. You do not have to be a member of IDEC - the only requirement to join a subcommittee is an interest and desire to help make changes to make ICS a more inclusive, equitable and welcoming place of work. As subcommittee are formed, they will be added to this page.
