Embedding
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion within Professional Bodies
Martin will provide
an introduction to what equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is, and why
these concepts are vital to consider from the attraction to the retention and
the development of members of Professional Bodies. He will also present some
self-awareness exercises to expose potential privilege and implicit bias.
We will also
be joined by a second speaker- Mark Harrisson, Head of Equality, Diversity
and Inclusion Transformation
at The Chartered Institute of Building
Mark will be discussing all things data management and data collection, further details will be announced soon.
There will be a
chance for Q&A with both speakers as well as group discussions.
This event will
be taking place virtually and a link will be circulated closer to the event.
We look forward
to welcoming you to our first event of the year. Should you experience any
