*ACTION ITEMS*

If you are doing an article for the JoCo Weekly, please provide a date of when you will submit it and what topic you will discuss.  I would like these a month in advance.

December – Keshia

January -- ?

February --?

Will review the list of D & I recognition items for each month and send Keshia an email if we want to write an article about an item or which items we think would be good for Lunch & Learn or training.

 

Upcoming Internal Events

JC Committee Fair Event – February 9th at 1pm.  The fair will be virtual.

  What do we want to emphasize about D & I committee at this fair?

 

Other Items not on Agenda

 

Budget Meeting Update.  The budget meeting went well.  Keshia presented the plan for the D & I survey and for using Qualtrics web surveying for several other applications.  John, Laurie, and Mike were there too and spoke about the importance of the request.

 

Scavenger Hunt Update.  This will be in January so that EEE can have December for it’s events.  Keshia said we may be able to do the scavenger hunt using clues about D & I training we have given to reinforce those ideas.
