Subject:	[Women-of-openstack] Male Allies Panel and Workshop - all set.
            please help spread the word



** with updated title.

All,

Happy to share that Claire has now added the male allies workshop and panel
to the agenda.  I have included the names of the people that Suzy
Greenberg, Tamara Johnston and Shilla Saebi have provided for the panel.
I will also be on the panel to balance it out.  It will be moderated by Dr.
Brad Mclain from NCWIT.    We will also have a workshop before this panel
and want to make sure that the people on the panel will attend this
workshop.  Suzy, Tamara and Shilla - please make sure your representatives
on the panel attend the workshop.  It will prepare them for the panel. I
will also work with Brad to see if there is any other prep call we want to
do for the panel.

1. Workshop:  TITLE: Champions for Change: Engaging Male Advocates for
Diversity and Inclusion
DESCRIPTION: A 2-hour lunch workshop on the research and practice of male
advocacy, including why it matters and how to take action.  This spirited
workshop will involve discussions, activities, resources, and key takeaways
for both men and women to advocate for more inclusive environments that
foster innovation in the technical environment. Led by National Center for
Women and IT research scientist Dr. Brad McLain.

All - please note that men and women who register for the workshop need to
RSVP.  And will get an Eventbrite receipt for this.  Please encourage men
and women on your teams and in influential positions in open stack to
register.  We want people who want to be a champion for change and will
showcase the ally and advocate behavior.   We have capacity for 100 people
and I will also send an invite to the board and the diversity taskforce.
Eventbrite to capture RSVPs for the panel.
