[LTER-diversity] DEI Committee Meeting today

[Marty Downs]

Hi folks,
The DEI Committee meets today at noon Pacific time (3 pm Eastern).

Discussion topics --

   1. Introduction to community platform (still under construction). I'll
   demo today and then send out login links with questions for feedback after
   today's meeting.
   2. Plans for LPI/DEI Meeting. It is a rare opportunity to get the Lead
   PIs together and we need to put some thought into how to best capitalize on
   it. There was enthusiasm last month to focus on strategic planning and/or
   landscape analysis. We'll have 90 minutes with them.  I'm thinking breakout
   groups with PIs and DEI Committee members in each breakout. If so, what
   topics do we want to address with them? Do we want a presentation first?
   Any particular expertise?
   3. Anyone interested in helping plan this with me?
   4. Leadership and schedule.
      - Many committees use a co-chair model successfully, or even an
      executive team. (IM has an executive team of 5 who plan organize
topics for
      weekly water coolers and track the activities of working
groups.) Are there
      folks who would be interested in taking a leadership role under that type
      of system (either co-chair or team)
      - We actually have several people on the committee who cannot meet at
      this time. Expect a new poll shortly to see if we can find a
better meeting
      time.
      - Do we want to shift to a bi-monthly meeting schedule so that
      working groups could use the alternate month slot to make progress?


Look forward to seeing you today.
Marty
