September 7, 2021-The SAA Council seeks member comment on a work plan for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA). The goal of this work plan is to incorporate DEIA and cultural competency into all aspects of SAA's work, taking into account SAA's Strategic Plan (2020–2022) and informed by existing goals and strategies developed by component groups.
The Council began drafting this work plan in March 2021, following a report and recommendations prepared by the Diversity Committee, and informed by the Black Lives and Archives listening sessions held in July 2020.
