Hi everyone! The Diversity Committee has had a busy year! I'd like to loop you all in: First, I'd like to thank the SLC CPAC for helping us create the Extended Practice & Inclusion <https://arlisna2019.sched.com/company/Expanded+Practice+%26+Inclusivity> track for the 2019 conference. If you have a moment, take a look at the highlighted diversity, inclusion, and social justice centered sessions. Be sure to check out and follow our new blog, The Art of Diversity <http://arlisdivcom.wordpress.com>, which currently features a short post about the annual conference. If you'd like to be a guest contributor, please email me, Andrew Wang ([log in to unmask]), or Marianne Williams ([log in to unmask]) with a brief proposal. As you register and plan your SLC agenda, don't forget to join us at the Diversity Forum, The Art of Belonging: Intersectional and Anti-Oppressive Practices in Art Librarianship <https://arlisna2019.sched.com/event/Ica0/diversity-forum-the-art-of-belonging-intersectional-anti-oppressive-practices-in-art-librarianship> as well as at our Diversity Committee Meeting <https://arlisna2019.sched.com/event/JYsL/diversity-committee>. Lastly, the committee will have two open spots that need to be filled for the upcoming year. If you are interested, please send me a quick note and include why you are interested and what you are currently doing to promote diversity and inclusion in our profession and/or in your community. New members are encouraged to apply! Please let me know if you have any questions.
