The BIPOC Discussion Group will convene face-to-face at each conference and will not include any virtual meetings.
The purpose of the BIPOC Discussion Group is to provide a safe, welcome, and open space for ALSC members who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color to discuss specific experiences in the profession and the Association.
The Discussion Group will benefit ALSC by 1) demonstrating ALSC's commitment to creating a welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment for all members, while acknowledging the inequity that makes a group like this necessary; and 2) supporting ALSC's ongoing work to continually adopt inclusive, equitable practices through feedback from the group's participants.
