Diversity and inclusion are more than just words to SACNAS. They are integral parts of our history, culture, and identity. They are the principles that founded our organization and guide our strategic path forward. We continually seek to build and maintain a culture that reflects the rich diversity of our country. We look for and celebrate diverse voices, experiences, backgrounds, and talents. We believe that an inclusive organization is one where all people feel empowered to be their full, authentic selves. Simply put, everyone is welcome at SACNAS. |

Yes, it is possible that more than 1 Officer/Member from each chapter will be accepted. However, priority will be given to ensure that we have AT LEAST 1 representative from each chapter attend COLOR. |
|
Absolutely! Do not feel discouraged to apply if you are not an officer, as long as you are an active member* of your chapter and ready to report back from what you learned at COLOR to your chapter! *Active member means you should appear on your chapter’s member roster. Contact chapters@sacnas.org for more information. |
|
Yes, you may participate in COLOR but will need to secure alternative funding. Due to our grant policies, we cannot fund non-US Citizens/Residents for travel and lodging. Please refer to our Funding Page for help! |

Accepted COLOR participants will have their airfare, lodging (hotel), and registration for NDiSTEM covered thanks to funding support from NIH grant #R25GM130515 |

Participants should expect to travel to Portland on Tuesday, October 24, and leave Portland on Sunday, October 29, 2023. |

To facilitate an uninterrupted community-building experience, COLOR is technology-free for participants— you may bring your devices but please do not use them during the event and do keep them silenced and in your bag during the program. We recommend bringing a notepad to take notes, but we will be providing folders and pens. |
|
Bring your whole and best self! In other words, we suggest “business casual” (e.g. no graphic t shirts, no jeans, & no sweats), and we welcome traditional regalia or other culturally important items or apparel that represent who you are. |
