rEDC Visits NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

The Central Maryland Chamber, through its Regional Economic Development Committee (rEDC), organized a tour of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland – an important economic gem of our region. About 15 members and guests gathered on a warm sunny day in December for fascinating discussions and a VIP tour revealing how Goddard supports the sciences driven to better understand our Earth, the Sun, and vast universe. Programs included the history of the Hubble and James Webb telescopes, use of quantum mechanics and lasers to better communicate millions of miles into space, and the construction of the new Nancy Grace Roman telescope that will launch in 2027 to study dark matter. We’d like to thank Phillina Tookes, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Government and Community Relations, for hosting our group.

Tech companies like Google and Meta made cuts to DEI programs in 2023 after big promises in prior years

• After vocal commitments following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, DEI programs in the tech industry are in broad retreat.
• Some companies have laid off DEI staffers and leaders of diverse employee resource groups, downsized learning and development programs, and cut budgets for external DEI groups by as much as 90% in 2023, sources told CNBC.
• The cuts come as the tech industry doubles down on artificial intelligence. With fewer diverse voices represented in AI development, the resulting products could be less accurate or more harmful to users.
