Hello, all! I wanted to share that the application period for the Community DEAI (Diversity, Equity, Accessibility and Inclusion) Advisory Committee is now open. 

For 2024, Tessitura will seat 4 new members on the committee to join 4 current members (Chloe Burton, Clayton Dickson, Carlos García León, and Shenette Swan). They are seeking a broad range of representation and lived experiences to join in this work.
