Friends of CHI: We had SIGCHI’s first Ask Me Anything (AMA) session last week, and here's a summarizing Medium post<https://medium.com/sigchi/sigchis-ask-me-anything-ama-sessions-de47afb15e50>. This week, Shaowen Bardzell and I, VPs at Large, will be holding our second AMA. We welcome questions from you all re: our community support mechanisms, SIGCHI CARES, as well as other equity and inclusion efforts. We would also like to hear from you how you think we, and the SIGCHI EC overall, might support the SIGCHI community better.

We recognize that these times will not work for everybody, and we plan to make recordings of the sessions available on YouTube (with professional captions, which can take 3-5 days) and write summarizing blog posts. We encourage you to participate in at least one of these sessions, and to pose questions even if they seem unrelated to the topics of discussion; we'll address them as best we can or redirect them to other EC members as fitting. We are also making sli.do links available for each session up to a week before the session begins so that questions can be added at your convenience, publicly and anonymously. Finally, we aim to make the above information available on our mailing lists, Twitter, Facebook, and Medium. Recommendations on how we might reach you and others better are very welcome.
