Hello, all!

2SLGBTQIA+ Virtual Affinity Meetup (Third Thursday of every month)
For Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, and/or not listed as it pertains to sexual orientation, romantic orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression.
Thursday, March 19, noon-1p | Meeting details and link<https://www.cognitoforms.com/StateLibraryOfOregon/_2SLGBTQIAAffinityMeetup>

The days and times for all reoccurring affinity and DEI meetups can be found here<https://slo.oregon.gov/CommunityEngagement/DEI_Resources>.

What is an affinity group? Check out this New York State Library Affinity Groups Lib-Guide<https://nyslibrary.libguides.com/dei/affinity> for an affinity group definition and an overview of the benefits of attendance for both individuals and their employing organization.

While topics are not predetermined, discussions may include challenges, concerns, surprises, or shared experiences related to identity. Attending just to listen, provide support, or to be in community with others is absolutely welcome for individuals who hold a shared identity.  Confidentiality of attendees, conversations and information shared in affinity meetups is required. All virtual meetup groups are for individuals employed, volunteering, or looking for work in Oregon libraries. Managers and supervisors are permitted to join but are asked to be cognizant of barriers to authentic participation for other attendees attributed to disproportionate power dynamics.


Best,
