Please publicize our call for nominations (or apply) for the 3 open seats on the DISC Committee for the 2019-2021 2-year term.

Here is a blog for reference:  Reflecting on Two Years on the NumFOCUS DISC Committee

Here is some language for emails, blogs, etc:

Nominations are open to serve on the NumFOCUS DISC committee! The Diversity and Inclusion in Scientific Computing (DISC) Committee helps to guide the direction and activities of the DISC Program. New DISC Committee Members have ample opportunity to bring their own ideas and energy to the program, in addition to enhancing work on current projects and priorities.

NumFOCUS recognizes that the open source data science community is currently highly homogenous. We believe that diverse contributors and community members produce better science and better projects. The DISC Program strives to help create a more diverse community through initiatives and programming devoted to increasing participation by and inclusion of underrepresented people.

Additional information on Committee responsibilities and the nominations process can be found here.
