Yup! So much going on right now. I’m actually multitasking. We are hosting a watch party for the DC Jewish rally for abortion justice right now.

Good morning everyone! Please rename yourselves to include your organizations - we have a great group today. If you have any questions, feel free to put questions in the chat!

What has been a successful (read: sensitive and respectful) approach to increase economic diversity on your Board? <Aminah Sloan>

Not a question, comment. I think it is important to recognize that the work of DEI within the Board needs to be concurrent with DEI work among and throughout the staff and organizational leadership.

I appreciate, Marni, you lifting up the importance of inclusion of individuals with disabilities. I'd love to hear more from the panelists about any work they've done in that area, and how that factors into decisions around holding meetings virtually v. in person, and other considerations about the mechanics of how meetings are conducted and to allow for full inclusion from a diverse population.

For those that have successfully increased diversity, can you talk a little more about the Board's expectations of the "new" member as a "representative" for their "diversity" and their experience in that space? <Aminah Sloan>

Piggyback on Deirdre DEIJ work cuts across many groups. It seems that this conversation has been focused on POC and economic diversity both quite important. My question is what work is being done to include or bring in people with disabilities?
