Members Monthly Meeting
Let's Talk about... Diversity,
Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB)
You are invited to meet us online from the comfort of your sofa, desk, or kitchen table. Join us for club announcements, Q&A, and an opportunity for you to share and socialize. We promise there will be laughter and good news to share.
Featured Speaker: Meredith Mani & Rick Chizmadia
We all want to belong, right? The AIWCC is evolving. Our board wants
you to be part of this positive change. Our mission embraces diversity
among our members and encourages inclusiveness as we move forward
into 2023. The January meeting will be of particular interest to parents
of teenage children, or any progressive person who wants to know
more about the rewards of a diverse AIWCC community.
Meredith Mani currently serves as the chair for FAWCO’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) Team. She is also a FAWCO UN Rep who focuses on Sustainable Development Goals. Meredith lives in Amsterdam with her husband and two teenage children. They are originally from the Washington, D.C. area. Meredith is a writer by trade. As a mother of two children of color Meredith has used her writing and communications skills to positively impact the world around her and highlight the gifts diversity and integration bring to society.
Rick Chizmadia has spent over a decade volunteering with FAWCO and FAUSA; and was president of FAUSA from 2019-20121. Yes, that’s right—a guy heavily involved in FAWCO! He is also a member of the Human Rights Campaign Board of Governors and the Executive Director of the American Guild of Music.
