Abstract
Did you know the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has a Diversity Task Force (DTF)? Did you ever wonder what the Task Force is doing or what it is supposed to be doing? The HFES DTF has been active for many years in various roles in our professional Society. This panel is designed to help the membership understand the role of the DTF in advancing the strategic initiatives of the Society by providing examples of current work and demonstrating objectives of the DTF. Some areas to be discussed include education, outreach, military, and research. The Q&A will be an interactive session to generate new ideas and interests about the future of the DTF. Attendees will be asked to share inputs to address the evolving needs of diversity and inclusion in HFES.
