Good morning LLOPS members,

It is my pleasure to announce that the LLOPS Board has approved the creation of the LLOPS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee. Erin Rance, Manager of Compliance and Legal Affairs for the
Office of Public Records and Open Public Meetings at University of Washington will serve as the Committee’s Chair. Erin is joined on the committee by myself and member Charlotte Daugherty from the Chapman University Law Library.

Information about the committee will be posted on the LLOPS website. If you are interested in joining the committee or serving as Co-Chair, please reach out to Erin to let her know your availability.

In the meantime, there are events promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion this month through UW Law and AALL:

UW Law’s upcoming Diversity Week – February 21 – 24, 2023:

The event will offer the chance to:

• View “Hidden Truths” the national award-winning American History Traveling Museum.
• Hear from a panel of former judicial law clerks.
• Be part of a Diversity Celebration.
• View the movie “Who We Are, A Chronicle of Racism in America”.

On February 22, 2023 (1 pm-2 pm EST), the AALL Black Law Librarians Special Interest Section (BLL-SIS) and the Foreign, Comparative and International Law Special Interest Section (FCIL-SIS) are hosting the first webinar in a series of FCIL-SIS Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion webinars on international events that may impact FCIL-SIS and the wider AALL membership: What in the World…is Happening in Haiti? This webinar, moderated by Lyonette Louis-Jacques, Foreign and International Law Librarian at the D’Angelo Law Library, University of Chicago Law School, will feature a panel of experts who will focus on the history of Haiti, the current situation, what the future may be, and a view of this issue from a librarian’s perspective (i.e. finding resources relative to Haiti).

The link to register for this event is here: https://brooklaw.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUrcuCtpzsvGN3HQBzTC3yxPW4feMaROJIM

I really look forward to working with this committee.

Please join the LLOPS Social Committee for an in-person social at the Star Brass Works in Georgetown on Thursday, June 30^th from 5:30-7:30 pm. LLOPS will cover food and members will be responsible for their own beverages. This will take the place of the virtual coffee chat previously scheduled for 10 am that day.

The Star Brass has a giant covered patio with ample outdoor seating and lots of food and drink options. There’s also a paid lot next to the bar and lots of street parking.  

Thank you to those of you who took the survey last week. It helped us make the decision to give this a try. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Your LLOPS Social Committee
