Do you feel that your voice and views are currently under-represented in
information community events and activities, for example, because your job
function, organization type, or demographics is under- or unrepresented? If
so, or if you know someone who feels this way, then the NISO Plus
scholarship program <https://niso.plus/scholarships/> is for you!
This program is an important part of our strategic goal to improve
diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
