The 蝌蚪网 Ombudsperson is available and ready to assist our members. The 蝌蚪网 has engaged Leto Copeley to serve in this critical role. As an attorney, Ms. Copeley will maintain the information received with the utmost confidentiality possible. The goal is for the ombudsperson to be a resource for addressing issues of harassment and discrimination throughout the profession. Any 蝌蚪网 member is eligible to consult with the ombudsperson on matters involving harassment or discrimination in a professional context. Ms. Copeley will also be onsite at the upcoming annual meeting in San Diego to meet and consult with members. For more information, visit /about-aea/aea-ombudsperson.
