Diversity, equity to be focus of Summer Sounding Board

The League’s diversity, equity and inclusion action team has planned our Summer Sounding Board for Saturday, Aug. 21, 9 a.m., at Big Momma’s, 217 E. Commercial St.

The topic, “Minorities in Business and Economic Development in the Community,” will be addressed by Lyle Q. Foster, assistant professor of sociology, Missouri State University, and Justyn Pippins of Minorities in Business.

League members interested in DEI are invited to stay afterwards for a brief meeting to discuss plans for the coming year. Contact LWV members Jill Smull or Cynthia Erb for information.
