A Message from the
SIETAR USA Board of Directors

On behalf of the SIETAR USA Board of Directors, we want to express our concern for all our members and members of the broader intercultural and DEI community around the world.

Those of us who have worked in relocation know that one of the most difficult times in a move is when  you have packed your belongings and said goodbye to your comfortable, familiar environment but haven’t yet reached your new life in a different culture with its unforeseen challenges and demands.

REVISED CFP coming SOON!

The 2020 National Conference

will be VIRTUAL!

Date(s) TBD - Early October 2020

"Moving Forward: Learning from the Global Crisis"

Dear Members of SIETAR Worldwide,

Our vision for the 2020 virtual conference is to explore and apply our knowledge and skills that can make a difference in places of work, service, and learning, in social and interpersonal spaces, on a global scale and in our local communities. How can our understanding of intercultural and diversity dynamics help shape the new reality of the world of work, education, the public sector, and every sphere of the societies in which we live?  As interculturalists and inclusiveness practitioners, we are called to action in this moment of disruption, ambiguity, and transformation. Helping others navigate the unknown is what we do, it is what we are built for. In 2020, we will be bringing our growing SIETAR community together in our first-ever virtual gathering.

Due to this change, a revised CFP will be released soon with a new submission deadline.
