Good Afternoon, 

 My name is Shavonne Holman and I am the co-founder of Blacks in IO Psychology, a DC MD VA based networking organization for minorities in I/O. Our group consists of 200+ minority and ally I/O's collectively.  I am reaching out in hopes that you will disseminate our information to your I/O network. I've included our current goals and contact information below. 

 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13707548/

Goals:

·  Serve as a resource to individuals interested in entering the I/O Psychology profession

·  Establish a national network of current and aspiring I/O Practitioners & Researchers

·  Increase the presence of Blacks in the I/O Psychology industry through the facilitation of networking events, seminars and strategic alliances.

·  Build a community and promote a safe space for members of the African diaspora

·  Improve black representation in Industrial/Organizational Psychology programs at educational institutions nationwide.

·  Increase awareness of the industry and minority focused issues at educational institutions nationwide.

I look forward to keeping in touch with you and the University of Baltimore IO students.  

 Thank you,

 Blacks in IO
