[Dcouncil] NASA at PrideFest

[Mike Robbins]

We have tried to do non-science outreach events in the past before and it wasn’t very successful. That is what we purchased the tent for initially. I would send this request through Lauren however as there may be new interest though.

NASA Langley has a very strong and visible LGBTQ+/DEI program. They also tend to be at all public events like the air show in VA beach as well. They however, have a whole department devoted to these kinds of events, just something to keep in mind. All for doing these kinds of things, but man power is something to consider since we do not have a dedicated division that strictly focuses on public event exhibits.

Best,
Alaina

Hello Event Services team and fellow DEI Council members,
I attended PrideFest in Norfolk over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see a NASA booth. With enough planning and volunteers, I would love to see this type of DEI outreach from Jefferson Lab as well.

Obviously we would need to think about things like

  *   Jefferson Lab fact sheets (about us pages)
  *   Giveaways (buttons, stickers, magnets, icepacks, sunscreen packets etc.)
  *   Science Education involvement as there are many families that attend
  *   Interactive pieces (JAG could help here – we have giant Jenga and other items)
  *   Several volunteers per shift
  *   DEI initiatives at the lab

Is there any interest about pursuing this next year?
Thanks,
Rebecca
