on November 1 and observe that the timing of when those plans were requested, the administering of campus climate surveys, and other strategic planning happening at your colleges was not coordinated or ideal by any stretch. The EDI strategic plans are but
one data source that may or may not be reflective of your current priorities or needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">Hi, Yadira - great questions, thx for posing to the group. I believe there was a review of everyone’s EDI strategic plan submissions and SBCTC used it as a guide/reference for including addt’l EDI funding in their legislative priorities
for this session. It likely surfaced up common themes across our colleges for areas of priority, need for funds.
<a id="OWAAM691CDDFC92AF45B6AC115EF54CAC187E" href="mailto:mwilliams@sbctc.edu"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;text-decoration:none">@Melissa Williams</span></a> and

incorrectly, please forgive, if so. Best - Ha<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xmsonormal">Hello All.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">I am wondering if within our roles and with our college presidents, are there topics that we are focusing on when it comes to increasing DEI funding to our colleges.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">My college president is going to legislative sessions and asked me what are the top priorities, I wonder what are the topics and if there should be some consistency with other colleges when college presidents are talking to legislators.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">Thanks! <o:p></o:p></p>
