Commitment to DEAI
CMEG aims to ensure that our events are not only accessible and inclusive to all who wish to participate, but also help promote greater diversity and equity in our workplaces, exhibits, and industry at large. At CMEG, we welcome reminders of the impacts of systemic discrimination as we strive toward justice and understanding. CMEG’s DEAI Committee, established in 2020, keeps us accountable as we strive towards our goals.
