 authored by Erin and myself that includes a link to the full formal evaluation of the Summer Meeting. We realize that many organizations are looking to deliver the best virtual meeting experience possible and we are always willing to share our insights. <br>
<br>
For the Winter Meeting, we have a new opportunity to share and we need your help to spread the word. As part of our effort to focus on increasing diversity and inclusivity at ESIP we have launched a <strong><span style="font-family:Helvetica">scholarship program</span></strong> to
 provide complimentary registration to the Winter Meeting to 15 Black and Latino students. Ideally, we are looking for students in their final year of undergraduate study, graduate students, and early postdocs. The idea is to work further upstream from our
 pool of Community Fellows to engage with potential future fellows. There is a short application that can be found <a href="https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/esipfed.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca50850794ee72b04765ac93c&id=ef975116c5&e=ad11bdec1a__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!cusD5wCHh9XsGQxz1hk8_P2mz4GRwRZYsOtUMmgRxPHWYjbZZ58zIW4XsZh_np_pTTabcvFT938x$" target="_blank"><span style="color:#00679E">here</span></a> and
