MPI MN August 2021 DEI Tidbits

DEI tidbit #3 - DEI statement and code of conduct

Before the event create a clear DEI statement or meeting & events commitment statement specifically for the event and publish a code of conduct that spells out zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination. It is helpful to include in email and onsite communications/signage.  


DEI tidbit #4: DEI During the Registration Process

An important way to make sure everyone feels welcomed, having a check-box during online registration asking if attendees have any special needs. This can include assistive listening devices or sign language assists, captioning, reserved front-row seats, advance copies of slides, wheelchair access, scent-free rooms, space for service dogs, a lactation room and dietary restrictions.
