The Diversity and Outreach Round Table is a growing force within MLA. We value continuing education and are building a reputation for excellence in conference programs. We value professional connection and helped establish a search tool on the MLA website based on areas of expertise. To continue to advance our work in these key areas, this year's meeting will use our brief amount of time for a "speed brainstorming" exercise. Grab some coffee and then come kick off your day - and our plans for next year - with a burst of ideas and action points.
