This event is an exciting opportunity for ICF NYC members to be active participants in laying the groundwork for the launch of DEIJB at ICF NYC! 

The ICF NYC Chapter is passionate and committed to placing diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and justice at the forefront of the decisions we make within our organization, and in our local and global community.

We will be providing unique and engaging opportunities for members to contribute to ICF NYC’s DEIJB efforts. 

During this Town Hall, ICF NYC Members can engage in group discussions, and share their ideas to help shape the future of DEIJB initiatives within our chapter. We will explore ways that DEIJB can be incorporated in the chapter’s activities, including professional development, membership engagement and more. 

There will also be a Meet The Candidates portion of this event where members can learn more about the current Board of Directors elections and hear from the candidates running for Director of DEIJB. They will introduce themselves and share their visions of what they see as possibilities for the chapter.
