During the event, Summer Scanlan, a business systems analyst at University of California Berkeley, will offer her perspective during a Lightning Talk entitled “Lived Name: Implementation Considerations.” We asked Summer to offer insight on the importance of her session and what attendees will gain from it and TechEX overall.
Q: What do you hope attendees will learn from your session?
A: I hope folks learn what lived names are and will provide tips and strategies to consider when implementing lived names at your organization.
Q: Why is this an important topic to cover?
A: Our culture and society is changing rapidly as far as lived names and identity are concerned. The University of California has set a deadline of December 31, 2023, for all campuses to implement UC’s Gender Recognition and Lived Name policy. Other universities and organizations will surely follow!
