Here is another installment of the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion Resource Round-up. We’re working on promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership. I’ve included the link to this year’s fall ILA Conference resources page where the theme was Seeking Inclusion, Finding Success. I highly encourage you to check out that link to see what your colleagues around Iowa are doing to engage with these issues. If you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate.
Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone
Chair, ILA Ad Hoc Committee for Diversity & Inclusion
