<p class="MsoNormal">Please join ALA Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Implementation Working Group members
<b>Melissa Cardenas-Dow</b> and <b>LaJuan Pringle</b> for a free webinar hosted by the Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services (ODLOS): “<b>Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & ALA: An Equitable Future for Libraries and the Profession.”
</b>The webinar will be held on <b>Tuesday, May 15, 2018, </b>from 1:30-2:30pm Central time (11:30 am-12:30 pm Pacific | 12:30 pm-1:30 pm Mountain | 2:30 pm-3:30 pm Eastern).
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The webinar will cover the work of ALA’s Task Force on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (TFEDI) and the subsequent group, the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Implementation Working Group (EDI-IWG), to nurture the values of equity, diversity,
inclusion and social justice within the American Library Association (ALA). In 2016, TFEDI developed a plan and strategic actions to build more equity, diversity, and inclusion among ALA members, the field of librarianship, and our communities. As these recommendations
shifted to the initial stewardship of EDI-IWG in 2016 to 2018, we continue the public and honest conversations that help keep these issues at the forefront. Working Group members LaJuan Pringle and Melissa Cardenas-Dow will present the recommendations in the
context of the future of librarianship, the future of EDI work within ALA, and the future of information services to our communities within the United States. All library workers will benefit from learning how they can contribute to this important work.<u></u><u></u></p>
