CAFTCAD's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee plans a variety of initiatives that help foster a more diverse and inclusive community of costume professionals as a part of CAFTCAD’s mandate.

For some time now, CAFTCAD members (and the larger costuming community) have been looking for guidance and insight on hiring and mentorship practices within the costume industry, with special attention being focused on BIPOC and marginalized groups. To meet this request, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee has organized this workshop, which will feature 5 panelists who have extensive experience in the hiring process. These panelists will be made up of Costume Designers, Costume Coordinator/Supervisors, Key Costume Set Supervisors, and Costume Breakdown Artists/Costume Workroom Leads.

WORKSHOP START TIME: 1PM ET (10AM PT)
