Reminder: Join the New VRA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee

Apply today!  The deadline is next Monday, November 4, 2019.

We are excited to be putting out an open call to participate in and to lead this committee and we encourage all interested members, whatever your level of experience, to submit an application.  

It was definitely the Executive Board's intent that accessibility be included in the work of this committee.  One of the first tasks that we would like this committee to address is the drafting of a thorough and thoughtful charge and a revision to the name could certainly be considered.

The VRA Executive Board is forming a new committee, the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC). The committee is charged with advancing and supporting an equitable, diverse, and inclusive association. The VRA is committed to critical reflection and an open, transparent process that can strengthen the organization and its current and future membership by welcoming and embracing diverse voices and perspectives.

The Board is currently accepting applications for membership to the DEIC. Consider joining! You will be on the front lines of supporting, growing, and strengthening the future of the VRA. You will connect with professional colleagues across the association and learn more about existing DEI initiatives.

If you are interested in applying, please complete this form (https://forms.gle/NhRtpPWgMCFNrycd7) by November 4, 2019. Please email board@vraweb.org with any questions.
