EDI Resources - VIPS Commission

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion is important to the VIPS commission and we hope to our community at large as well. The intricacies of how prejudice effects the lives of members of our community is something that we strive to understand. Therefore we have compiled a list of resources for you to learn along with us. If you have any suggestions on additional resources you think would be of interest to our members, please contact us.
