Hi everyone,
Hope you're all having a good end to the summer! Just a reminder that we'll have our monthly HFES LGBTQ+ AG call tomorrow, 8/27, at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT.
Zoom link: https://asu.zoom.us/j/85132472537
We have a couple of things I'm excited for us to talk about:
-
ASPIRE 2026 planning: We have a two-part activity planned for our annual LGBTQ+ AG get-together this year: bowling and dinner! We'll share more details tomorrow and would love to hear everyone's input as we finalize plans.
-
Call for co-chair nominations: I'll be stepping down as AG co-chair at the end of this year, so we're looking for our next co-chair! We'll set aside some time to talk about what the role involves (it's actually only about a 2–3 hour commitment per month on average) and answer any questions for folks who might be interested.
If you can't make the meeting but are interested in the co-chair role, you can submit a nomination (including a self-nomination!) using this form: https://forms.gle/TqL6BZAbep6QWs86A. You're also welcome to reach out with any questions or concerns to me at myke.cohen@asu.edu or my co-chair, Margo Woller-Carter, at margo.woller-carter@siemens-healthineers.com.
As always, we'll leave some time to catch up too. Hope to see you tomorrow!
