Today, I would like to officially introduce the <a href="https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=66851633&nr=6422003163" data-auth="NotApplicable">
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Resources page </a>. The DEIA Committee set out to create a page to colocate resources that could be helpful to our members. The resources have been structured into four categories including Leadership, Surveys, Organizational
Culture, Collections, and NEO-RLS archived webinars. In addition to gathering the resources, committee members have reviewed each resource for relevancy and accuracy. This page will continue to evolve as new resources become available. I would like to thank
the DEIA Strategies Committee members, both past and present, who have volunteered their time to this project.
