DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AT THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Embedding Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion in everything it does is one of the 5 strategic priorities MCN is committed to over the next 3 years. Over the past couple of years, we slowly started to roll out accommodations around DEAI at the conference. These include gender neutral bathrooms, pronoun options, acknowledgements of local tribes, improved accessibility guidelines, ensuring our Friendly Space Policy is conspicuously displayed, and more. We will continue to do so in San Diego.
