NCMPR’s new DEI committee was born out of the nation’s fervent call for social justice in 2020. What is especially good about NCMPR’s DEI committee is its own diversity and intensive focus on the matter at hand. This committee has members from all over the nation. And it seems these members want to enact change not just because it’s good for their colleges, but because it’s the right thing to do for humanity.

This time of year provides a perfect opportunity to pause from the daily demands of work and life to simply think about – and thank – those who impact our lives. For those of us at NCMPR’s national office, what impacts us the most is the impact NCMPR has on members.
