Growing Our Community with the Digital Identity Advancement Foundation
summary
Digital Identity Advancement Foundation runs merit and need-based programs to remove financial barriers, awarding Kim Cameron award and Victorio Vachi award recipients this first year: five KCA awardees sent to Identiverse, EIC and other conferences (one is present at Authenticate) and three VBA awardees slated for IETF 2025, an international modeling conference presentation, and a first IWI. Survey data shows 78% tenure ≥6 years but only 27% feel proficient; gender under 20% and <1% trans/non-binary, driving plans for more Africa/Asia outreach and university partnerships.
