I would love to see our other committees get more involved in the leg-work of DEAI. For example, I think the membership committee should be looking into ways we can expand our base and reach out to smaller and/or cultural institutions and pitch membership. The planning committee should also have guidelines for our quarterly meetings. Does this mean we have requirements for presenters? Presenter ratio (from large to small institutions; diverse presenters; etc)? Does this (DEAI) work influence the selection of topics for the quarterly meetings?

If successful in inspiring youth to pursue working in cultural Institutions how will this generation be met by cultural Institutions once they graduate school and apply for jobs? Will political action and fund raising be key to increasing community/civic investment to foster and hire a diverse new generation of cultural Institution workers?
