The American Go Association is looking for volunteers to serve on the newly-formed Committee for Diversity and Inclusion. The aim of this committee is to create and implement programs designed to increase the involvement and retention of underrepresented populations in the AGA go community. Programs currently being discussed include outreach to schools, pipeline grants, and community education, and we hope new committee members will bring their own ideas and enthusiasm for making a difference.
Members of the committee should be able to commit to at least three hours per month, including attending a monthly virtual meeting, though members may invest more time on a project-by-project basis.
If you are interested in joining the Committee, or if you have any questions, please contact Samantha Fede (samantha.fede@usgo.org). Interested parties should send a short statement (~100 words) on why they are interested in serving and should indicate they understand the expected time commitment.
