We're excited that Jody Gray (Director of ODLOS), Martin Garner (ODLOS Advisory Chair), and Shauntee Burns-Simpson (Committee on Diversity Chair, BCALA President-Elect) will be involved throughout the process to ensure that marginalized voices are represented. We encourage you to make your voice heard and comment on the document. The deadline for comments is August 24. </p>
