Dear Allen and Colleagues,
I was very disappointed when the Board decided to disband the
ARLIS/NA Diversity Committee. I felt that we, as a profession,
needed to examine our membership and mission in regards to a changing
professional environment. We still have a road to travel to make the
organization more diverse.
Thus, I was happy to see your invitation. I am gratified that ARLIS
will continue to take an interest in diversity issues, however I wish
that the task force would have more permanence. Nevertheless, I
would be happy to serve on either of the task forces that you are
proposing, so please do consider this my offer. Thank you.
yours,
Lucie Stylianopoulos
