Our new Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility Committee
We are delighted to announce that we are establishing an Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity and Accessibility (EDIA) Committee. This new sub-committee, chaired by our Vice-President for EDIA Mr Martin Griffin, will ensure that we meet our EDIA responsibilities and oversee activities set out in our EDIA strategy, whilst providing accountability for delivering on our commitments and wider ambitions.
We are seeking a diversity of volunteers from our Fellowship to join the EDIA sub-committee, who will meet virtually no more than four times a year. This new EDIA sub-committee will report into our External Relations Committee, which meets three three times a year, via our VP-EDIA.
To learn more about the committee or to express your interest to join please email [email protected]
