We meet to support each other, share resources and information, and to move this work forward. We meet monthly for 90 minutes, and we try to do four things with our meetings: We try to make it easy for folks doing this work to find and connect with other folks doing this work. We try to learn from what local organizations are doing and have done relative to Diversity and Inclusion. We try to help each other get better, by sharing our experiences and expertise.
