Dear Colleagues,
We, the Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee, put together an informative, educational and even fun suite of sessions for the upcoming 2014 AOM meeting.
In this email, I bring to your attention just three: the D&ITC's Townhall on Saturday from 2-4pm followed by a deliciously catered D&ITC's Connections Café from 4:15-5:45pm. On Sunday, I encourage you to join us for a fun evening with 'Late night at the Academy.'

| 2:00PM – 4:00PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Commonwealth B | Diversity and Inclusion in the Academy: A Town Hall Meeting
Diversity & Inclusion in AOM Please join us as we build on past years' efforts to make the AOM more welcoming and inclusive to its members. At this highly interactive session, the D&ITC leadership will share progress since last year's Town Hall. Most of the session will focus on participant sharing of inclusion experiences in the Academy, ideas about how to make AOM more inclusive, and best practices at AOM for diversity and inclusion. Your input will allow us to work toward developing guidelines and tools for diversity and inclusion practices in AOM. |
| 4:15PM – 5:45PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Commonwealth B | Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee's Connections Cafe
Connections Cafe (Social) Open to all AOM conference attendees; you are invited to connect with other members at this social following the D&ITC Townhall. |
Sunday, Aug 3 2014 – All Academy Theme Sessions |
| 10:00PM – 11:30PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Regency Ballroom A | Late Night at the Academy
Join us live at studio WAOM with host Dr. Q (Quinetta Roberson) as we celebrate brotherly (and sisterly) love. This fun, interactive social event will engage the audience with the invited guests (academicians, practitioners, poets and musicians) as we explore the power of words, the Phily lexicon, music, comedy, and games. There will also be a special tribute to Nelson Mandela for his contributions to shaping the thinking relative to diversity and inclusion. |
For D&ITC's full program, please browse the AOM's Online Program by selecting '(D&ITC) Diversity & Inclusion Theme Committee' on the 'Division, Interest Group, or Sponsor' drop down menu.
We look forward to seeing at one or more of our sponsored or co-sponsored sessions.
