A Note from the NCIL Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) Committee
Hello Everyone,
First, let me introduce myself for those of you who don’t know me. My name is Larissa Martin and I am the DEAI Committee Chairperson with NCIL. I wanted to share with you all one of the exciting things that is happening through our DEAI Committee.
Our committee is in the process of creating a demographics survey that will help NCIL better understand our diverse membership. Not only will this highlight the diversity within NCIL, but it will also allow us to serve everyone in the best ways.
The survey will be completely optional, but we are encouraging everyone to fill it out to help us get to you, our membership, more.
It will be coming soon, so be on the lookout for an email and a new link on the Member Center!
Thanks,
Resources from our Partners at the LEAD Center
