Let’s be more welcoming?

A closed-minded geospatial industry has the potential to result in closed-minded planetary decisions that create further divisions and friction in the society. This isn't a gender or racial and ethnicity issue alone. This certainly isn't about "saying the political right things just because".?Diversity actually makes financial senseand makes sense when it comes to tackling biggest challenge of our lives as well. This is about empowering the best minds on this planet regardless of the personal identities of the person, including but not limited to race, gender, ability, sexuality, beliefs, culture, age, and body type.
