The National Laboratory Women of Color Community Forum is a community-driven forum aimed at fostering equitable and increased representation for women of color within the DOE national laboratory system.
Following a system-wide national laboratory event held in March 2022 focused on the Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech Consensus Study Report, the National Laboratory Directors’ Council (NLDC) endorsed the chartering of this forum to:
- Cultivate a system-wide community to foster networking, support, and informal mentoring for women of color at the national laboratories
- Increase integration with DEI efforts at the national laboratories
- Provide a venue for information exchange
- Serve as a resource for the NLDC and its working groups.
