The Diversity Committee (ad hoc) was originally established by President Elizabeth Zdrodowski and reauthorized by President Andrea Parisi. FAME President Julie Hiltz has proposed the addition of By Laws language that would create a Standing Committee on Diversity. The language for the By Laws and Handbook (posted below) was approved by the FAME Board on October 2, 2019, and will come to the FAME membership for approval at the FAME19 Conference on Friday, November 8, 2019. In accordance with our By Laws, the proposed language is published here for review by FAME members thirty days before the vote.
