The MSFAA DEI Committee is proud to be introducing two DE&I topics for the very first time at our annual conference this May, 2024.  We hope you will join us for an enlightening presentation on neurodiversity in the realm of higher education featuring Dr. Yulanda Harris, autistic self-advocate and CEO of Trainingphase, LLC, a consulting firm that helps organizations improve their talent management process by attracting and retaining neurodivergent employees.  We will also be presenting a workshop on Navigating Pronouns, as DL McKinney, Director of the Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center at Grand Valley State University shares how pronoun training plays a crucial role in creating spaces where individuals of diverse gender identities feel acknowledged and valued.
