Kendra updated the Committee on the status of the Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion. Since she last shared the document with the Committee, Kendra has shared it with others, including an outside consultant and members of the team for feedback. The document was reviewed by the Committee and we agreed that it was ready to be presented to the full Board. Kendra emphasized that this will likely be an evolving document, and that specific anti-racism language will be added in the future.
