    Dear Deepa,

    Thank you for proposing this meeting during Midwinter.  This time and date works for me and topics seem like a good starting point. Maybe adding something about diversity,  inclusion, equity and access in AAMES programing.  Hope this can be a scheduled Zoom meeting through ALA.
