IASA DIVERSITY TASK FORCE
MEETING AGENDA
Objective: It is important to understand the world we live in. It is heterogeneous in nature and so there is the need to build an inclusive environment that embraces sharing of varied thoughts and perspectives. This will ensure fairness, empowerment, add value to deliberations during meetings and make members feel part and parcel of the organization. It is a concern that the historical makeup of IASA may be contributing to a community that is less diverse and not wholly representative of all peoples and cultures. It is therefore anticipated that the establishment of the Diversity Task Force will primarily investigate and report on how diversity or the lack thereof within IASA affects our mission, vision and membership. Additionally, it is envisioned that the Task Force meeting will be a platform for networking.
