[Esip-preserve] Brief Demographic Survey from the Arctic Data Center

[Amber E Budden]

Hi Mark

Somehow the ESIP preserves list seems to have become mixed up in this communication. This is not ESIP Data Stewardship related business and so I will reply to you, Peter and Noor via a separate thread.

If any of the ESIP preserve group are interested in the details, I am also happy to share.

Best
Amber

As part of that effort, we have been encouraged to present information about diversity, equity, and inclusion on Arctic Data Center participants. Therefore we would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out a brief, anonymous demographic survey.

As such, this survey is compliant with the UCSB Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
