Good afternoon,

KDL is hosting a state-wide event on equity, diversity and inclusion on May 2. This event will include presentations by Seattle Public Library, KDL, and a panel discussion. See the event page for more information. Libraries from across Michigan are invited and encouraged to participate, though this summit is not exclusively for libraries and will have content of value to many different organizations.

Please find a PDF flier for the state-wide EDI Summit attached, and be sure to register soon if you plan to attend because space is limited. Registration will end April 24. We appreciate any help getting the word out to your staff members and others in your networks!

There are three easy ways that you can share/promote this:

• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/603970400075792/
• KDL event page: http://kdl.org/nextnexus_edi/
• Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/next-nexus-equity-diversity-and-inclusion-summit-tickets-59703400478

It should be a great summit with a lot of opportunity for important dialogue, ideas, and self-reflection. Please let me know if you have any questions. We hope that you can join us either virtually or in person!

Thanks for considering,

Lance Werner

Libraries help people to become the absolute best versions of themselves.
