I do not seek a seat on the Board of Governors, but I would like the opportunity to bring to the Board's attention:(1) ways to advance the goals of DEI without the objection to reverse dicrimination (through a greater understanding of evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and the strength of cognitive diversity[and different lived experiences]); and (2) the benefit to the legal profession of comprehensive "Community Wellness," which includes equal justice and tthe fair appication of the "rule of law." Both these suggestions would benefit greatly from the collaboration and coordination of the members of our profession. Respectively submitted, Robert E. Wells, Jr. (chair of Mental Health and member of the Human Rights Section Council).
