To that end, we will take the month to seek and reflect on our shared topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion and curate resources to share in a bring-your-own-book club (BYOB) manner in our January 2025 meeting. Please have a look at our December agenda,
which is attached for more information.</div>

Please look forward to a relaxing holiday season. Unless you are highly passionate and go down a rabbit hole of information, please endeavor to include at least or only one resource to add to the Padlet. This way, we can honor our commitment to learning, reflection,
and balance in this critical yet gradual work. However, you are welcome to add as many resources as you can.</div>
