Describe the primary purpose of the work and the desired outcomes.

Our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Acceptance committee continuously provides professional development to support employees within their roles in meeting diverse learner, coworker, and community success. This will also help the broader campus have a variety of opportunities to meet SCC's required 8-hours of DEI professional development annually, support employee personal and professional goals, prepare training aligned with our faculty professional development plan, ASPIRE, and ultimately support student success. Our ASPIRE DEI theme for this year is Becoming a Student-Ready College. As part of this effort, we give employees an opportunity to attend a DEI professional development session presented by a guest speaker. We would like to see if the Belk Center has any speakers who would be available to present virtually in the early spring semester.
As a college, we have been hosting common-read discussion sessions on the book Becoming a Student-Ready College each month and at our professional development days based on chapters in the book. However, reading the chapter is not required to participate.

If YES, how much can the institution provide in financial resources? (ex: up to $_________)Based on previous speakers, we can pay up to $600 per session, which would be $1,200 total.
