As the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic continues, the Skin of Color Society has adopted virtual meetings and webinars in lieu of in-person meetings to continue to provide educational, cultural and networking opportunities to our members and community in a safe manner to all. Our mission is more important now than ever and we take this challenge as a great opportunity to broaden our reach and expand access to the knowledge base that our SOCS membership uniquely holds.

Whether you are a current, future, or past member, we invite you to join us and experience what it means to be part of the SOCS community.
