Diversity
Diversify in Postgres
The mission of the Diversity Committee of the United States PostgreSQL Association is to promote an inclusive environment in the PostgreSQL community through outreach programs and the support of educational endeavors for underrepresented PostgreSQL users in the United States.
Participation
Current members of the United States PostgreSQL Association are encouraged to participate in the further development and growth of the Association through committee participation. Interested members can complete the Volunteer Introduction Form to apply for the Committee.
Diversity Scholarship
PgUS established this Diversity Program in 2015 by unanimous vote of the Board. The Committee has created guidelines for the program, which are updated yearly in keeping with developments in DEI practices and in our own work.
We are pleased to announce the application for the Diversity Scholarship is open and available for submissions.
You can apply to have some or all of your conference attendance costs (registration, hotel, airfare) covered. Just like submitting a talk, details count! Your application should include specifics of how attending the event will benefit you, and how you plan to share the benefit with others in the community.
The Diversity Committee would like to thank our friends and members of the Django community for allowing us to review and borrow from their program.
