commitment to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across the organization’s endeavors. Comprised of members from across the globe, representing all areas of NISO’s work — libraries, publishers, research infrastructure, service providers, and other information community organizations — alongside NISO staff members, the committee plays a vital role. Committee members are entrusted to advance </span><a href="https://groups.niso.org/higherlogic/ws/public/download/26870/"><span>NISO’s DEI Policy</span></a><span> to realize our commitment to social justice in all our activities. This includes establishing priorities, identifying assessment criteria, and regularly monitoring and reporting on progress.</span></p><p><span>The committee’s charges extend beyond their internal impact, influencing programs and educational resources intended for the NISO community. By providing guidance on DEIA issues and advocating for under-represented groups, the committee strives to be a catalyst for positive change within the NISO organization and the broader information community.</span></p> </section> <section class="section clearfix"> <h2>Committee Members</h2> <h4>Chair</h4><ul><li>Judith Fraenkel, Clarivate (Israel)</li></ul><h4>Members</h4><ul><li>Trevor Dawes, University of Delaware (USA) (Board of Directors)</li><li>Yali Feng, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Library (USA)</li><li>Ruth Haber, UC Berkeley Library (USA)</li><li>Yuimi Hlasten '22, Denison University (USA)</li><li>Rosy Salman Khan '23, (India)</li><li>George Kerscher, DAISY Consortium (USA)</li><li>Sandra Kiselica, MPS/HighWire (USA)</li><li>Rebecca McLeod, Harvard Data Science Review (USA) (Board of Directors)</li><li>Russell Michalak '22, Goldey-Beacom College (USA)</li><li>Johanssen Obanda '21, Crossref (Kenya)</li><li>Christie Peters, Washington University in St. Louis Libraries (USA)</li><li>Deborah Poff, Journal of Scholarly Publishing / University of Toronto Press (Canada)</li><li>Merrilee Proffitt, OCLC (USA)</li><li>Anjaneya Reddy '22, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (India)</li><li>Ellen Riney, Washington University in Saint Louis Libraries (USA)</li><li>Cassidy Sugimoto, Georgia Institute of Technology (USA)</li><li>Maria Stanton, Atla (USA) -
