Official Statement on SRHC 2024 in Jacksonville, FL
Florida Travel Advisory
SRHC recognizes that recent travel advisories to Florida issued by organizations including the NAACP, Human Rights Campaign, League of United Latin American Citizens, and Equality Florida may impact the decision of member institutions and individuals’ decisions to attend the SRHC 2024 conference.
SRHC is an educational institution that is committed to advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion of all students, faculty, and staff in our region. Although a change in location is not possible, the 2024 Conference Planning Committee and the SRHC Executive Committee are fully committed to providing a safe and welcoming conference for all attendees.
Specifically, the 2024 Conference Planning Committee and the SRHC Executive Committee are implementing the following:
Conference Programming: Specific sessions supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion of our diverse members within our region
SRHC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement: Development and adoption of a statement that clearly demonstrates SRHC’s commitment to supporting our diverse communities within our region
Conference Code of Conduct: Development of a conference conduct policy that provides a harassment-free experience for all participants
Local Resources: The Annual Conference Planning Committee will identify and share resources and initiatives in the Jacksonville area that align with SRHC’s mission. Links will continue to be added to the conference webpage and mobile app for in-person attendees.
The organizing team intentionally selected a conference theme to encourage proposals that recognize how to build bridges on a variety of topics which may include diversity, equity, and inclusion.
