Region 1 Administrative Core Summary/Abstract The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) RML Team leads a responsive outreach and engagement program that addresses the emerging needs of a large and diverse region. Built on experienced leadership, highly-skilled coordinators and seasoned support staff for fiscal responsibility, the RML is supported by a governing body of four advisory groups. The make-up of Region 1 NNLM members who serve on the Senate, Library Advisory Board, Community of Interest Leaders, and Executive Committee reflects the full diversity of regional membership and guides the RML direction to: • Shape the program and ensure that it is relevant, community-driven, and impactful. • Support the mission of the NNLM and contribute to national goals. • Help the RML meet network performance measures. • Integrate diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of the RML program. This member-centric governance structure supports the RML in cultivating an inclusive, diverse, and thriving network membership, cultivated with cultural humility and supported to work for social justice and health equity toward community resilience. The RML Team collaborates multi-regionally with other RMLs, and NNLM Offices and Centers to implement effective network membership recruitment strategies, maintain a continuation of operations plan that guarantees national and local service, and conduct program evaluation to guide, monitor, and continually improve RML and national programs.
