What should the EDI team's top priority be for the first month?
poll by Verity Closed Sat 7 Nov 2020 12:04AM
Our first priority will be to establish our goal, purpose and strategy! Thanks for voting!
Choose the primary area which the EDI team should focus on for the first month. (All areas can & will be worked on simultaneously, depending on what we are each interested in. But, it's a good idea to first ensure we're all on the same page for our initial action).
See Diversity & Inclusion Ideas Spreadsheet for details pertaining to each section. (NB - The ideas on this spreadsheet do not contain some actions from the current Milestone Plan. The results of this Loomio thread will inform the EDI team's new Milestone Plan, into which any outstanding actions from the old plan will be assimilated). :)
