**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved (What is left to do,
based on your Planning Report?
Have there been any substantial changes in plans since then? What items, if
any, have been deferred until next year?):
1. Surveying the diversity of NMRT.
At Midwinter, the committee considered the variety of ways that the diversity of NMRT could be measured (programming, membership makeup, diversity of librarianship). The committee will need to determine what types of diversity it wants to measure: diversity based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disability; diversity based on type of position and type of library. Some coordination may be necessary with the ALA Office for Diversity.
2. Collaborative mentoring and diversity.
Consider ways in which to build mentoring relationships with the Mentoring Committee, as well as approach diverse groups outside of NMRT to sponsor a collaborative mentoring program.
