A promotional flyer for the “Black In Astro & CSMA Networking Dinner” at the 247th American Astronomical Society (AAS) Meeting. The design features a navy blue, yellow, and white color scheme with abstract shapes and photos of a table setting with plates, glasses, and warm lights. Text on the flyer reads: “Join us for Black In Astro & CSMA Networking Dinner. 247th American Astronomical Society (AAS) Meeting, Phoenix, AZ. January 6, 2026, 6:30 PM–9:30 PM. Phoenix, AZ; location to be announced. A space for Black In Astro and CSMA members and interested allies to meet and network. Open to all attendees of the 247th AAS conference.” Logos for Black In Astro and CSMA appear at the top. A note at the bottom thanks several sponsors, and a circular badge says “Express your interest by December 22nd.”

Black In Astro and CSMA are hosting a free networking dinner at the 247th AAS Meeting in Phoenix, AZ! Come connect with fellow community members, explore research collaborations, grad/postdoc opportunities, and more. Let’s grow and support each other!
