February Branch Meeting Program
The program for the February Branch Meeting includes a panel discussion and table talks. Each member of the panel will review a book with a DEI theme by providing the name, author, short summary of the book, the message or takeaway from the book and its impact on the reader (and possibly on society or culture).
The panel will also discuss 2-3 questions that will be in the February newsletter.
After the panel, tables will follow the same discussion format. Each table leader and one other volunteer will present their books. Any branch member at the table may wish to talk about a DEI themed book that impacted them in some way. Table discussions will continue discussing the panel questions. All tables will be asked to report out a brief summary of their discussion of the table talk focus question: What can readers do after finishing a DEI-themed novel to turn awareness into action in their community or personal lives? More detail will be provided in the February newsletter.
Panel members, table leaders and reviewer volunteers will receive more complete information in January along with the date of an optional planning/prep session.
