HI everyone,
Hope you all are winding up a great summer, feeling rested or just making memories.
I am leading SLAS's DEI initiatives and need volunteers for two Task Forces. one for each of the following efforts.
First, to develop a DEI plan for SLAS itself. This plan will outline how to improve volunteer diversity, determine and fix equity gaps and manage a third-party assessment to determine how inclusive the SLAS environment is.
Second we are developing resources to be used by the SLAS Community. These will include providing a case for having a DEI plan at your company, collecting and distributing resources, looking for opportunities to partner with other organizations and create a process for continual feedback.
Most of the work for both of these task forces should be completed by the end of Q2 2023. I expect there will be monthly video meetings lasting 60 minutes each up until the projects are complete. There will be an expectation to participate in conversations between meetings via email.
If you are interested in volunteering for either of these please email me directly at
vloise@slas.org.
