A modification of the current name is being considered. The focus of our organization is students and professionals with disabilities in the Geosciences, the current name, the International Advisory for Geoscience Diversity, suggests we work more on diversity in the larger sense. Although it would be best if we could keep the current acronym (IAGD), it is not a requirement.

Three suggestions that have been made so far:

• International Association for Geoscience Diverse-Abilities

• International Association for Access to the Geosciences (IAAG)

• International Association for Diverse-Abilities in the Geosciences (IADAG)

• Increasing Access to the Geosciences for Diverse-Abilities

If you have other suggestions for names send them to info@theiagd.org by Friday, January 4th. We will be voting on the organizational branding starting January 7th.
