Committee for Equity and Inclusion: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:26, 22 November 2024

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 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. Participation in the CEI is open to all, regardless if you work at a DLF member institution.

-The CEI is composed of both [https://wiki.diglib.org/Committee_for_Equity_and_Inclusion#Structure standing sub-groups] and short-term project groups. Standing sub-groups focus on broader diversity issues within GLAM. Project groups respond to the immediate needs of the forum or to meet more exigent requests from the community (webinars, toolkits, or other resources). The main efforts of the CEI are typically scheduled around the Forum, with work concentrated in the spring through fall (with Forum taking place in the fall). New member orientation and project planning typically takes place during the rest of the year.
