Originally put forth by Donna Mejia (University of Colorado, Boulder), the founding design team included Jacqueline Westhead, Terri Allred, Amy Sigil, Joanna Ashleigh, Liz Tron, and Brittney Banaei. We have a long list of brilliant collaborators to thank for magnificent and generous contributions to this event. Above all, we have our global community to thank for our sense of inspiration and purpose.

Members of the design team are now moving forward with plans for a research platform and community resource, digital distribution of the colloquium, production plans for the October performance event, and the global survey.
