TWO EDI OPEN CONVERSATIONS OFFERED IN JULY

As part of the WLA EDI Committee's goals and as requested by many of YOU in the EDI survey, we are hosting virtual Open Conversation sessions for individuals to drop by, learn from each other, or just listen to what others have going on. Please read the list of guidelines to help ensure that we're discussing what can be difficult topics in a respectful manner, and also read the EDI Statement​ if you haven't already done so.

Are you working on a cool project? Did you stumble on an amazing article or website? What does WLA's EDI Statement even mean? Grab a snack and join us at one (or all) of the sessions below! Members of the EDI Committee will be helping facilitate these conversations. All times are MST, and make sure to add these to your calendars!

Thursday, July 8, 12 pm – 1 pm

Friday, July 23, 9-10 am
