The POD Network is pleased to invite your participation in the 2022 POD Network Conference Affinity Group meetings.

Do you identify yourself as a person of color or in a historically marginalized group? If yes, we would like to invite you to join the Affinity Group Meet-n-Greet Session during the POD Conference. The Affinity groups at POD provide a safe place where POD affinity group members come together and discuss topics that they identify as most pressing. We, Affinity groups, meet once a month to reflect on our experiences as educators and/or educational developers, synthesize lists of strategies for professional development and networking, build community beyond the annual POD conference, and support our growth and development within the POD Network.

In this session, we will begin with a brief introduction and history of POD affinity groups, then break down into 2 short segments for you to learn more about the individual affinity groups.

We currently have the following Affinity Groups hosting regular meetings:
  • Asian/Pacific Islander/Asian American/South Asian Affinity Group (Convener: Heeyoung Kim)
  • Black Affinity Group (Convener: Jamiella Brooks)
  • BIPOC Affinity Group (Conveners: Tammy McCoy, Carol Hernandez, Ching-Yu Huang)
  • Latinx/Latine/Hispanic/Latin American Affinity Group (Conveners: Melina Ivanchikova, Carol Hernandez, Carol Subiño Sullivan)
  • 2SLGBTQ+ Affinity Group (Conveners: Melina Ivanchikova, Michele DiPietro, Malia Piper)
