#ESA2019<\/h2>\n

Discussions around the\u00a02019 annual meeting<\/a>\u00a0(#ESA2019<\/a>) brought numerous, important issues to the fore of ESA governance. Your C&E officers participated in several ways, including 1) serving on an ad hoc committee convened immediately after ESA 2018 by 2019 Meeting Chair, Ryan McEwan (aims to use ESA 2019 to inform long-term policy recommendations for future meetings), 2) joining the ad hoc committee being established by ESA President Laura Huenneke, and 3) serving on the ESA governance-level Committee on Diversity and Education. In each venue, and in the discussions we\u2019ve participated in online, we worked to listen, center underrepresented perspectives, and hold firm on expectations that ESA prioritize member safety, integrity, and dignity. We\u2019ve supported and directed people to all the travel support options<\/a> we are aware of through ESA.<\/p>\n

Each of the C&E Section\u2019s officers, as individuals, made their own decision about whether to attend ESA 2019. Personal and professional considerations factored into those decisions.<\/p>\n

That being said, we maintained our commitment to centering inclusion and underrepresented voices in the programming the C&E Section contributes to at the 2019 meeting and always.<\/p>\n
