for a first meeting with them.I want you to prepare a presentation to serve as a brief but
substantive introduction for the first meeting with a group of 4–5 members who will
participate on the committee tasked with addressing the diversity issue. Once I review more
information about the proposed team I can help you with the recruitment. The presentation
should be 5–7 minutes and use 6–8 slides with detailed speaker’s notes so I can understand
your approach. Not a lot of time or space, so keep things pretty high level. Do the
following:Briefly outline the project goals and highlight 2–3 of the initial priorities to be
addressed by the group. Also, explain why they are important.Explain the composition of
the team and why you chose them. Note that you will not know the exact individuals yet, but
assume we will recruit the people with the desired qualities and characteristics you outline
