All in favor. <br /> MEMBER UPDATES <br /> Coalition <br /> Community organizations are fearful about the possibility of what could happen to our <br /> immigrant population. The Chair has attended meetings to prepare, remain aware, and be of <br /> support. <br /> There is a villainization of DEI that is important to note right now, it may or may not affect us <br /> as a Committee. There is a large misunderstanding of what DEI means, and that is fueling <br /> some of what we are seeing. <br /> Mr. Fand commented on issues that arise across the country and history, we will continue, <br /> DEI will carry on. It's like weather, we will deal with it. <br /> 1 <br />
