Promoting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Join your colleagues from across the state at the 2022 MASC/ MASS Joint Conference in Hyannis (November 2-5, 2022). After the past two years of pandemic-related cancellations/reconfigurations, we are working to bring back a full-service, reinvigorated conference event. We are also designing our program to allow for contingencies, should we need to make accommodations for attendee safety in November.

2022 CONFERENCE DETAILS

November 2, 2022 – November 5, 2022
Resort and Conference Center at Hyannis
35 Scudder Ave, Hyannis, MA

Our theme this year is Promoting Equity, Diversity and Inclusion: Constructing the Narrative to Define the Message. We have planned an important and timely program that includes sessions to help you do your work more effectively, address equity issues, expand the diversity of your faculty, promote skill building, and learn about what may lie ahead economically and politically. Our web sites will provide regular updates on programming and speakers.

As in the past, we are once again offering you an opportunity to register for the Joint Conference on/before July 15, 2022, at a very special “End-of-Year Reduced Rate” of $450.00 per registration. (Standard registration rate is $545.00). This early bird registration rate is NONREFUNDABLE, but we will allow you to transfer the registration should you or your colleagues not be able to attend.

Many more to be announced!
