A Note From the Executive Director
[https://neo-rls.org/photos/81676_11022021091152.jpg]In September 2021, the NEO-RLS DEIA Strategies Committee was charged with creating a DEI resources page for the NEO-RLS website. Today, I would like to officially introduce the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Resources page <https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=66851633&nr=6422003163> . 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.

If you have any DEIA resources that you feel would benefit NEO-RLS members, or if you have concerns for any resources that are currently listed, please send your feedback to me at ragan.snead at neo-rls.org<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=66850411&nr=6422003163>.

Have a great day!
