“The outcomes of our actions as the EDI committee 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.”
