My involvement in SAMD stems from a professional, but far more powerfully, a personal passion to find, create, and nurture community at the intersections of diverse and varied identities. |

“I believe that SAMD can help extend the ideals of multicultural psychology and my own interest and activism in multicultural and diversity consultation. I believe that organizations and larger systems can benefit by understanding identity development models and by embracing an increasingly multicultural society, rather than by rigidly adhering to the status quo. As a White male with a background in corporate America, I have come to recognize the salience of my own identity development and the ways in which implicit attitudes work to keep certain systems operating as protectors of the status quo despite their explicit desires to do otherwise.” | | | |

| Olga Vera-Nesmith, Ph.D. | SAMD Leadership Council | "As a professional, teacher, and mentor I have a role in modeling how to live, interact, work and learn within communities that demonstrate respect, inclusiveness, compassion, growth, and acceptance of difference at all levels. It is important as a leader that I provide a challenging and supportive environment where intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual, diversity are important components. To provide an environment that encourages others to feel free to learn about their own cultural heritages and uniqueness.
SAMD provides an inclusive environment through development of activities, trainings, and experiences that encourage intentional interpersonal interactions based on mutual respect, which helps us consider our role in society, therby encouraging us to understand our personal value and belief systems as it pertains to issues of social justice." | | | |

| Mary Ann Watson, Ph.D. | SAMD Leadership Council | "The journey to professional competence in issues of multiculturalism and diversity is an ongoing one. I attend a monthly meeting of the 'Race Group,' a group of persons in the Denver metropolitan area particularly interested in issues related to race. I find that this meeting provides a monthly opportunity to take my 'diversity temperature.' I also look forward to an active role in SAMD and continuing my growth on these very important topics.
I have a website that includes small segments of the films that I have produced related to diversity. Follow this link: www.mscd.edu/~psych/connecting | 1490 Lafayette Street, Suite 105A
