FCRC leadership is aware that Florida House Bills (HB) 1521 and 1557, and Florida Senate Bill (SB) 1438, have been signed into law by the Governor of Florida. FCRC’23 was contracted in 2021, to be held in Orlando, well prior to the signing of these bills. In light of this, FCRC leadership and the sponsoring SIGs reaffirm ACM’s core values which promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. We endeavor to ensure that FCRC’23 will be a place where ALL participants are welcomed and safe, understanding the concerns members of our community have. In facilitating, we have ensured non-gendered (single-stall) restroom availability at the conference venue and are taking additional intentional steps to support the safety of all conference attendees. We stand firmly against unacceptable behavior at conferences, including harassment and discrimination as well as any offensive, degrading, humiliating, harmful, or prejudicial verbal or written comments or visual images related to gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, appearance, or other personal characteristics. We look forward to your full participation!
