I truly believe that within this Symposium, there\u2019s something for everyone,\u201d Rea-Fisher said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guest presenters include a panel of LGBTQI+ and people of color who live and work in the predominantly white, rural North Country region. Adirondack Explorer and North Country Public Radio (NCPR) reporter David Escobar and NCPR News Director David Sommerstein will reflect on stories Escobar has covered in his role. A panel of young Adirondack residents will explore challenges and opportunities the region holds for future stewards and leaders. Representatives from regional outdoor education and recreation organizations will discuss the importance of inclusivity in developing New York\u2019s Visitor Use Management plan for the Adirondacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symposium will also feature a panel of elected officials who will speak about regional diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts including Assemblyman Billy Jones, D-Chateaugay; Alison Webbinaro, North Country Regional Representative for Governor Kathy Hochul; and Susan Griskonis, Assistant Attorney General in Charge of Plattsburgh Regional Office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ANCA, in partnership with the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce, will offer a hybrid workshop called \u201cCreating Inclusive Workplaces\u201d as part of the symposium. The session will provide tools for employers looking to implement fair and equitable hiring processes and other practices that foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for diverse staff and clientele. Registration for the virtual workshop alone costs $20. The training is funded by a Rural Business Development Grant from the United States Department of Agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The symposium\u2019s closing keynote presentation will feature <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Camille Simone Edwards and Dan Kreisberg, co-creators of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/camillesimoneconsulting.com\/diversityeducationinnature\/home\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diversity Education In Nature<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for a discussion about how biodiversity in nature can inspire us to value and nurture diversity in human communities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following the event, ADI Community Initiatives Manager Tamara Jolly, who is also a graduate of the New York State Ranger School in Wanakena, N.Y., will lead an optional nature walk where participants are invited to reflect on the day\u2019s conversations and explore the ecosystems of the VIC property. The VIC is home to 25 miles of trails, including 6 miles of interpretive trails through forest and wetland habitats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDuring this guided mindfulness walk, we\u2019ll reflect on the day and deepen our connection with nature,\u201d said Jolly. \u201cTogether, we\u2019ll let the natural world be our guide, observing and engaging with the forest as we explore the themes and threads that emerged from our work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event is the first ADI Symposium since 2019, when ADI was a volunteer-run collaboration of organizations and individuals. Since coming under ANCA and hiring its first director in December 2019, ADI has increased its staff, programming and impacts. The ADI team has since implemented a variety of community-informed programs including the Community Policing Initiative, Emerging Stewards Program, cultural consciousness training, and other efforts that empower participants to increase awareness and action around diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in the Adirondack region.
