Main Street Theater Seeks Diversity on its Board per the NAACP thanks Janice Weaver for sharing!
Dear NAACP Houston Branch Leadership,
From time to time we receive requests and invitations for members of our NAACP Leadership to serve in advisory board/panel capacities on a myriad of diversity and inclusion issues or efforts impacting our Houston community. We've received another such request that I'd like to share with you.
Main Street Theater is launching its inaugural Diversity Panel and I'd like to engage the interest of our leadership team in this effort. Below is an overview of the e-invitation and attached is the Anti-Racist & Anti-Oppressive Guide. Please review at your earliest opportunity and let me know if you have any interest in serving on Main Street Theater's Diversity Panel.
Thanks in advance for considering - Yolanda
Main Street Theater recognizes that equity, diversity and inclusion are central to our mission of challenging our artists and our community to engage more deeply with the stories and ideas presented on our stages. Our diversity includes, but is not limited to: gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic, sexual orientation, religion, and those with special needs.
Therefore, it’s important for us to continue to examine and reflect on our relationships, the culture within our community, policies, and practices. As part of this continued focus and to inform our thinking and action, Main Street Theater for Youth has committed to working through a TYA/USA’s guide on diversity and inclusion. To maintain accountability, we are creating a diverse panel of individuals to work through this guide, and we believe NAACP would be a great addition to our diversity panel.
It is my hope that committee members will make the minimum of 18-month commitment, recognizing there will be monthly hybrid meetings (a combination of in-person & virtual attendance) for the first six months, followed by quarterly meetings starting in 2022.
We are seeking diverse perspectives from individuals who share this same passion and vision for our diversity enhanced community! Please see the attached infographic for more in-depth information about our plan to work through the guide.
Respectfully,
Sloane Teagle
