Happy Friday everyone!
As you’re renewing (or joining) ILA for next year, please consider increasing your involvement by serving on a committee and/or subdivision. Several are seeking new members for the coming year, and I’d like to plug the diversity and inclusion committee 
A little bit about CD&I: The purpose of the Committee for Diversity and Inclusion is to advance awareness and improve service to a wide range of often underserved populations in Iowa. The Committee will promote awareness of issues related to traditionally underrepresented groups. Our regular activities include a monthly meeting (about an hour once a month, meeting virtually), bi-monthly social justice discussion groups (facilitated by a couple of committee members each time), and collecting/distributing a monthly resource round-up of links related to topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
If you or someone you know would be a great fit for the committee, please fill out the ILA Volunteer Form 1 and let us know! If you have any questions about the committee please feel free to reach out to me as the committee chair.
Thanks!
