ANOTHER SPECIAL DIVERSITY SECTION WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 4:00PM, EASTERN
Issues in Accounting Education has distributed a call for papers related to Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Accounting Education. The AAA Diversity Section is supporting our members in developing papers for submission to this special issue by hosting a workshop for authors to present their work and receive feedback. The workshop will be held virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, July 14, 4:00 PM Eastern/3:00 PM Central. (The reason for the late start time is that three of the guest editors attending the workshop are located in Australia. They will join us at 6:00 AM!)
We are inviting all members of the Diversity Section to read these paper proposals, attend this workshop, and share comments, questions, and other feedback with the authors to enrich their papers. If you would like to attend the workshop, PLEASE REGISTER HERE. We will distribute the paper proposals and the Zoom link for the workshop to all registrants.

A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Veena L. Brown, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Dear Members of the Diversity Section,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I address you as the newly elected President of the Diversity Section of the American Accounting Association. I am deeply honored (and pleasantly surprised) to have been entrusted with this esteemed position.
First and foremost, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our members, both longstanding and newly joined as we begin this new year. The Diversity Section is a community that thrives on the diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds of its members. Our collective mission is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of accounting education, research, and practice. As the incoming President, I am committed to amplifying underrepresented voices, driving meaningful change, and creating opportunities for our members to succeed. I firmly believe that diversity is not just a buzzword; it is the key to unlocking our full potential as a profession.
