Deliberate, Directed, Positive ACTION!
summary
A grassroots program called Global Diversity CFP Day runs free worldwide workshops that teach people how to write conference proposals, pair them with mentors and slide and bio help, and coordinate venues, catering and code‑of‑conduct teams. It starts in 2016 with a few workshops and scales to 80+ workshops by 2019 with over 2,000 attendees and 360 volunteers. Measurable outcomes include first‑time speakers placed on lineups (three workshop attendees in a 17‑slot conference) and a shared conduct inbox that shifts leadership to marginalized community members.
