Springtime is here, and the DEI committee is blooming with the expansion of new members, innovative approaches for continuous growth, learning, and assisting other chapters with their DEI initiatives.
This season, we invite you to continue your education with self-reflection and an intention to experience growth through immersive, vicarious experiences. This can be accomplished by joining the committee on museum field trip, by participating monthly committee meetings, and by attending our 3rd Annual Dinner Drinks and DEI event “Celebrating Identities”.
On April 10th, IREM Maryland chapter will be celebrating National Diversity Month. Our guest presenter, Catherine Hyde, will lead us through a discussion of our own identities and how they are the basis for our sense of belonging. This is an afternoon that will be fun filled with group participation and an opportunity to hear a guest presentation by Kelly Murray of Acadia Windows and Doors.
We also welcome you to attend our monthly meetings. We meet the 2nd Friday of each month by Zoom. It’s a safe, judge-free space for robust discussions, sharing of perspectives that foster respect, understanding, and inclusiveness. This sense of belonging is the groundwork for our diverse and close-knit committee.
As always, thanks again for your support and we hope that you enjoy this new season and cycle. We look forward to learning and growing with you!
