----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Dear ARLIS/NA Members: The executive board has approved the following diversity position statement (action item 82 from Strategic Plan): "ARLIS/NA interprets diversity to include age, socio-economic class, race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, and history of under-representation. ARLIS/NA seeks to advance diversity in the art information profession by promoting diversity in education, training and membership, staffing, collections, services and outreach." As chair of the committee I welcome any suggestions on realizing diversity goals, especially as we are rewording the committee charge, and would encourage anyone interested in serving on next year's committee to contact me or Janine Henri, our board liaison. Look for the diversity statement on our web page, shortly, thanks to Tom Riedel, Diversity Page Webmaster. Pat Thompson Chair, Diversity Committee ---------------------------------------------------------- Patricia Thompson, Head, Art Library Fine Arts Library MSU Libraries--100 Library Michigan State University East Lansing MI 48824-1048 517-432-1874 fax 517-432-1445 http://www.lib.msu.edu/coll/main/finearts [log in to unmask]
