Abstract

Following the establishment of our EDI Advisory Group in 2019 and publication of our first EDI policy in 2020, ARMA has been on a journey to identify and remove barriers and drive more equitable outcomes in all of our activities. We want to talk about how we have approached building a more equitable, diverse and inclusive association for our members.

Our presentation will be divided into four sections:
• Changing how we lead – embedding EDI into our board and governance training to enable authentic and inclusive leadership
• Changing how we recruit – our new inclusive recruitment policy seeks to ensure positions within ARMA are open and accessible to all
• Changing how we evaluate – using EDI data collection to evaluate our performance and progress and openly inviting feedback to ensure continuous improvement
• Changing how we engage – ensuring the events and engagement activities are inclusive and support our members in their own EDI journeys
