This is a great idea, Gerie. When I worked in Oregon, OLA had something similar that all libraries - including academic - could participate in. I know it was a very successful program.</div>

I'm sure that WLA would benefit from this group's input, particularly in looking for opportunities for BIPOC faculty mentoring. Thanks for sharing!</div>
