EJP Member Announcements

May 9, 2022

Some of the members of EJP’s strategic planning committee (from L, Ellen Ritter, Linda Larsen, and Charlotte Bauer) at last weekend’s strategic planning workshop. They crafted EJP’s 2022-25 strategic objectives and started preliminary work on a new mission statement. Stay posted for opportunities to provide feedback to the draft statement.

Critical Climate Makeup

Deadline to doodle is today, Monday May 9

As is usually the case, there are a few (!) EJP members who haven't fulfilled their critical climate obligation. As is its practice, the DEI team has created a doodle to schedule ONE additional critical climate conversation. If you weren't able to participate in a conversation (or had to leave so early that you missed most of the last one), please try to find a time to attend another one, which will be scheduled at the time that's most convenient to those needing the make-up session.

The final alternative for those needing to meet this requirement is to write a short essay on the topic. The DEI team will reach out to people directly about this.

Thank you again for understanding our commitment to this initiative and for taking it seriously. The deadline for doodling is Monday May 9.
