[LTER-diversity] Agenda and survey for DEI Committee meeting on Tues, Jan 19

[Nameer R. Baker]

Hello everyone,

We hope this email finds you well and having enjoyed a happy holiday and a
happier New Year! We wanted to pass along the agenda we have put together
for our upcoming DEI committee meeting *next Tuesday*, as well as a link to
a survey that we would greatly appreciate you filling out before we meet.
We are hoping to use this session to figure out which working groups have
been able to achieve critical mass and which ones need some help - there is
no shame in being in the latter position, we just want to get a handle on
everyone's status. To that end, please do read through the linked SWOT
framework below if you are not familiar with it, as we plan on using it to
assess each working group's progress.

Survey to complete before meeting:
