    Happy New Year! 

    The State of Colorado Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in GIS next meeting, on January 14 at 3pm MST, will have conversations with five participants from the Lived Experience Library. 

    We hope that you can join us! The Lived Experience Library is designed to build a positive framework for conversations that can challenge stereotypes and prejudices through dialogue. The goal is to create a productive framework for personal conversations that help challenge bias, reduce discrimination, prevent inaccessible design choices, and contribute to greater human connection. The Library will provide group discussions to build an understanding of accessibility, equity, and diversity and lead to more inclusive and innovative digital technology. These discussions may include storytelling, user experience feedback, and user demonstrations.

    Feel free to share the information with others.

    Reach out if you want on the calendar invite.
