Diversity Summit 2009
USA Swimming will host a Diversity Summit at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs from November 12-15, 2009. We encourage the General Chair or an active, engaged LSC representative to come to the Summit. The challenges of diversity require attention at the highest level within the LSC.
The focus of this year’s Diversity Summit will be on constructive ways to impact diversity efforts in your LSC. We often hear from LSC’s that when it comes to diversity “we don’t know what to do.” This conference will focus on the practical and doable. We will hear from some other NGB’s to find out what they are doing. We will also ask you to bring your ideas and current projects to share. Some LSCs are making great strides in diversity and others are, unfortunately, doing very little. Come ready to learn from others and then go home and “hit the pool” with ideas you can implement immediately in your LSC.
Please mark the dates November 12-15, 2009 on your LSC calendar. Each LSC will be responsible for airfare for the participant. All expenses while in Colorado Springs will be covered by USA Swimming.
