Dear LTER diversity, equity, and inclusion committee,
The NSF INCLUDES Network is a great resource for those working on DEI
issues at your sites. I've forwarded their July bulletin below, including
links to sign up for their community. While many of the members are
NSF-funded through the INCLUDES program, the resources provided are free to
all.

 Especially useful this month is the new NSF INCLUDES Report (which I'll
also add to the "resources" card on Trello.

NSF recently released the Special Report to the Nation II
<https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20099/nsf20099.pdf>, highlighting the
progress NSF INCLUDES has made towards broadening participation in STEM.
The report showcases the work of NSF INCLUDES grantees and shares how the
National Network is building connections across the Nation, including with
corporate and federal partners. Also, check out this blog post
<https://www.includesnetwork.org/blogs/jenna-rush1/2020/07/29/includes-making-a-collective-impact-to-broaden-par>
by
Sylvia James (Deputy Assistant Director, Education and Human Resources
Directorate, NSF) to read more about the progress of NSF INCLUDES and the
work still to be done.


Cheers, Marty
