SIG Goals
Goal 1: Strengthen communication via E-Newsletter
Action Step: Continue distribution of E-Newsletter while adding more detailed content and member participation
Method: Solicit members for ideas on how they approach diversity in their work environment, and then ask them to write a column to share in the E-Newsletter
Responsibility: Chair Rebecca McGovney-Ingram began by asking members for ideas at the annual meeting, then handed the newsletter over to Vice-Chair Elect Marusela Anders
Timeline: The E-Newsletter will be published a minimum of six times during the year
Goal 2: Update the Diversity SIG Website
Action Step: Update the content of the website (including adding the E-Newsletters)
Method: Research moving website to wiki hosting
Responsibility: Vice-Chair Elect 2 Ariel Ginsburg will research wiki as a host for our website and then oversee updating the content
Timeline: Website updates by the end of February 2008
Diversity SIG Surveys Members on Diversity Challenges
During the 2005 ACE meeting, members of the Diversity SIG discussed how to better serve our members within the SIG, as well as other ACE members.
As a result, the ACE Diversity SIG Member Survey was born. The survey, which was sent via email in fall 2005, asked members to share any questions, concerns, and ideas they had on diversity in the agricultural communications workplace. There were many great recommendations made by our members, which we hope to begin working on soon, as well as expanding this survey to include all ACE members.
