Message from our Board Secretary

I trust this finds you well. As the 2018/2019 Board term ends, we would like to take this opportunity to share with you the Board Meeting and General Membership Meeting Minutes. At this time, all 2018/2019 approved Membership and Executive Board Meeting Minutes have now been uploaded to the Chapter's website and can be accessed from the following link: https://alasuncoast.org/Board-Meeting-Minutes . Please note login is required to access the minutes.

We also would like to take this opportunity to share with you two valuable resources published by ALA International: The ALA Diversity Toolkit & Scorecard. The Diversity Toolkit & Scorecard provide an inspirational overview with tools to help advance diversity and inclusion in the legal workplace. The Toolkit can be accessed through https://www.alanet.org/docs/default-source/diversity/toolkit-whitepaper-rev2.pdf?sfvrsn=2, while the Scorecard is available at: https://www.alanet.org/docs/default-source/diversity/ala-diversityscorecardforlawfirms_jan_2017.pdf?sfvrsn=2.

ALA International has also implemented a number of Green Initiatives and has made a number of Resources Available at its "Going Green" page, which can be accessed through the following link:

We hope you have an opportunity to review and implement these resources at your firm/practice.

Should you have any questions about either the Meeting Minutes or the Diversity Toolkit/Scorecard, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of our Board Members.

Collectively, as a Board, we would like to thank you for the opportunity to serve you for the past year, and we hope to see you at the BP Showcase at the Tampa Bay's History Center.

Regards,
 
Daniel S. Peracchi
2018/2019 Suncoast ALA Secretary
