Dear Friends of Water Science,

CUAHSI recently completed a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Strategic plan.  The plan was developed by an ad hoc committee of the Board of Directors.  Contributors included Board members Jeanne VanBriesen (chair), Alejandro Flores, Michael Gooseff, Holly Michael, and Gretchen Miller; at-large members Salli Dymond (Assistant Professor, University of Minnesota Duluth), Teamrat Ghezzehei (Associate Professor, University of California, Merced), Kaylyn Gootman (Post-Doctoral Fellow, West Virginia University), Julia Guimond (Graduate Student, University of Delaware), Kevin Roche ( Post-Doctoral Fellow, University of Notre Dame),  Shandin Pete (Instructor, Salish Kootenai College ), Marcelo Somos-Valenzuela (Assistant Professor, University of La Frontera, Chile), and Liz Tran (former CUAHSI staff).

CUAHSI is committed to ensuring that diversity, equity and inclusion are core values reflected in our internal culture and practices. Our vision is that CUAHSI’s commitment to DEI will strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration among water scientists by promoting the acceptance of diverse ideas and perspectives in the hydrologic sciences. The strategic plan seeks to align CUAHSI’s DEI strategy with our overall strategic planning process and to coordinate DEI analysis and actions throughout CUAHSI programming.

You can see the draft strategic plan here. We plan to finalize this plan it in early 2020, followed by the development of an implementation plan. We welcome your input on the strategic plan, as well as your thoughts on an implementation plan. 

Please send your comments to DEI@cuahsi.org. Let us hear from you.

I hope to “see” many of you at our membership meeting on December 2.

All the best, 
Jerad

In this release the focus was on fixing minor UI issues as well as adding management scripts and an internal monitoring tool. Most notably UI change is the removal of the "Overview" tab from the Groups landing page to simplify the UI. In addition, we fixed an issue which forces client side code to be refreshed in the browser after a release. We also added an internal monitoring tool to help with maintaining stability of the system.
