Hi Matthew,</div>
<div style="font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Hope all is well. Our board is scheduled to approve the attached Sustainability Policy and the resolution below regarding diversity. The Policy had been originally titled Environmental Policy and created when the library was working on the environmental portion
of our certification. We realized we could revise it to include the custom benchmark concepts. Please adapt to your purposes as you like.</div>

<p>Good afternoon.</p>
<p>I am looking for policy, plans or how you completed these two parts of the SLCP:</p>
<p>1) Create a plan and/or policy to recruit a diverse Board of Trustees that reflect the community served and supports diversity.<br>
</p>
<p>2) Demonstrate, through a mission statement, policy, board resolution or long-range plan, commitment to addressing community resiliency.</p>
<p>Thanks for any assistance.<br>
