ASID aims to proactively seek and include members from a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, qualities and expression, and ensure our activities, operations, policy development and strategic management embrace a diversity of perspectives. The role of the Committee is to:

  • Actively promote and support the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion across ASID ensuring it is a central part of how ASID works, and of our programs and events

  • Be the peak forum to determine equity and diversity policy positions

  • Inform discussion on equity and diversity priorities in an open and transparent way

  • Analyse, identify and report on equity and diversity gaps, barriers.

Committee
Chair: Dr Rekha Pai Mangalore
Members: Dr Emily Woolnough, Dr Dani Lin, Dr Shayne Camilleri

The Committee’s work should reflect contemporary community values in matters relating to equity and diversity.
Our responsibility is to ensure that there is equity, diversity and inclusion in ASID activities. This would be displayed through our choices when we select speakers for panels and keynotes at conferences; our choice when we endorse research and award prizes; understanding the composition of our membership and developing avenues for mentorship and career advancement for trainees.
