The IGB DEI task force meets on Zoom regularly to discuss various DEI-relevant topics to make IGB a safer and more open place for everyone. Our discussion topics range from planning future events, brainstorming ideas for new projects, getting updates from the DEI Advisory Group and more. If you are a member of the IGB, you are welcome to attend one of our meetings where you can learn about what we do. Feel free to ask us any questions you have!
