As received from NAMI National.

Dear Multicultural Networking Group members,

Thank you to all of those who confirmed availability and provided input for our March 26 call with NAMI’s new Executive Director, Mary Giliberti.

Below are the four priority topics we will discuss based on the rankings you provided:

1.     Overall strategic vision to make NAMI more diverse and inclusive.

2.     Cultural adaptation and translation of education and support group programs.

3.     NAMI's diversity and inclusion priorities.

4.     Need for additional support for multicultural leaders and efforts at the local level.

While we had planned to schedule brief comments from group representatives, survey results showed that this was not the best use of your time.

Next Steps:

·        Please submit via email questions you may have related to each of these topic areas. Note that we are looking for very concrete and specific questions related to diversity and inclusion issues. The more specific we are the better answers we can expect to receive.

·        We will share your questions with Mary in advance so that she can plan how to better address as many as possible during the call.

Agenda:

1.     Introduction and housekeeping.

2.     Mary’s opening remarks (overall plan and vision).

3.     Q & A based on questions sent before the day of the call around each of the identified priority areas:

·        Overall strategic vision to make NAMI more diverse and inclusive.

·        Cultural adaptation and translation of education and support group programs.

·        NAMI's diversity and inclusion priorities.

·        Need for additional support for multicultural leaders and efforts at the local level.

4.     Lines open for additional comments and questions from the group.

Date and time:

·        Wednesday, March 26

·        3:00 p.m. ET, 2:00 p.m. CT, 1:00 p.m. MT, 12:00 p.m. PT
