An International Forum at Pac Rim 2022:
Mobilizing Around Inclusion and Disability and Diversity
Feb. 26
Saturday, February 26, 2022: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM (HST)
Overview
Historically, the Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability and Diversity has served as a gathering place for professionals and stakeholder concerned with disability and diversity issues in the greater Asian Pacific Region. As a way of welcoming our international guests, we traditionally have planned a special day prior to the main conference to focus upon regional and international issues. This years’ International Forum is planned for February 26th and will be held virtually, with worldwide access to the discussion.
