Living Our Mission of Equity By Charmen Goehring

We hope you will join us in a monthly equity conversation where we look at our own biases, seek actions we can take to attract diversity to our branch and become better people in the process. Each month, we read a section of our selected book then meet to discuss what we have learned, along with exploring other issues related to race and equity. We meet the first Wednesday of each month from 7 to 8 pm on Zoom.

The Zoom meeting code is 737 420 3780 or you can join using this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7374203780

We will discuss our current book,  Prejudice, Racism, and Tribalism: A Primer for White People by Anthony D’Agostino, M.D., on January 7 at 7 p.m. We will discuss Chapters 1-5. If you have questions and to RSVP, please email Charmen at charminme@yahoo.com.
