He is always willing to fight for others with respect to working environment, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

• Lily Khadjavi, Loyola Marymount University

Bio: Lily Khadjavi (she/her) is a Professor of Mathematics at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles whose scholarly interests lie in the intersections of mathematics and social justice and in broadening participation in the mathematical sciences. With a focus on policing and the issue of racial profiling, in 2020 she was appointed by California State Attorney General Xavier Becerra to the Racial and Identity Profiling Act Board which works with the California Department of Justice. She is co-editor of the books Mathematics for Social Justice: Resources for the College Classroom and Mathematics for Social Justice: Focusing on Quantitative Reasoning and Statistics.

• Hermie Monterde, University of Manitoba

Bio: Hermie Monterde is a PhD Mathematics student in the University of Manitoba. Her research interests are spectral graph theory, combinatorial matrix theory and algebraic graph theory, and their applications to continuous-time quantum walks. She is also a migrant and labor rights activist, and a dedicated advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion in Mathematics.

• David Pike, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Bio: David Pike received a BMath degree in 1992 from the University of Waterloo and a PhD in 1996 from Auburn University. In 1998 he joined the faculty at Memorial University of Newfoundland where he is currently a University Research Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (with a cross-appointment to the Department of Computer Science). His research involves combinatorial design theory and graph theory. Recent work has been on such topics as colourings of combinatorial designs and graph decompositions, configuration orderings, as well as graph-based games. He was awarded the Hall Medal of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications in 2007. He has served on NSERC panels for grants and scholarships and was Vice-President (Atlantic) of the Canadian Mathematical Society (2015-2017). Currently he is on editorial boards for the Australasian Journal of Combinatorics and the Journal of Combinatorial Designs. Since 2016 he has been a Vice-President of the Institute of Combinatorics and its Applications. In June 2022 he became President of the Canadian Mathematical Society. David is a gay man whose recreational interests include curling with the Odds & Ends LGBTQ2+ Curling League in St. John's, as well as hiking and genealogical research.

• Darryl Yong, Harvey Mudd College

Bio: Darryl Yong is a Professor of Mathematics and ACE Fellow for the 2022-23 academic year. He has served as the Associate Dean for Diversity and Director of the Mathematics Clinic Program at Harvey Mudd and was the Founding Director of the Claremont Colleges Center for Teaching and Learning. His scholarship has several foci: the retention and professional development of secondary school mathematics teachers, effective teaching practices in undergraduate STEM education, and equity, justice, and diversity in higher education.
