inclusive communication and programming checklist

One of the DEIR Committee’s first projects was to formulate a checklist for leaders and organizers to help ensure that programming and events are as inclusive as possible. The checklist is for organizers of both large WILD Int’l events and for WILD Chapters to use for educational and social gatherings. Pass it on!
