View source for Committee for Equity and Inclusion

The DLF Committee for Equity and Inclusion (CEI) aims to build and support more inclusive, diverse, and equitable practices for '''Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM)''' organizations. The CEI meets year-round, with its work divided between providing support for [https://www.diglib.org/dlf-events/ DLF Events] and serving as a community of practice. We aim to create a space where community members can share expertise, develop frameworks for inclusive practices, and produce knowledge and documentation to be made openly available. The CEI is led by the Admin Group, which facilitates the Committee's work through standing sub-groups and short-term projects.
