Join the Pride in Action Network Committee

The inaugural Pride in Action Network Committee was established in January 2019 to lead the Network's members, strategy and program of work, with individual committee members appointed for a duration of two years.

And now, two years in, we would like you to join us!

We are in the process of recruiting a new committee member for our Marketing and Communications Lead.

The Pride in Action Network committee recognises the inherent value and richness of diversity, and the associated benefits of fostering an inclusive environment. We recognise the breadth of identities seen across the LGBTQIA+ community, both in orientation and expression, and the shared intersections of diversity many in our community experience. We celebrate the evolving diversification of our community and aspire for meaningful inclusion which both acknowledges and celebrates this transformation.

Currently, the Pride in Action Network Committee sees diverse representation across gender, ethnicity, ability, faith, and LGBTQIA+ orientation and expression. Our diverse representation has strengthened the insights, viewpoints and cohesiveness of our committee in working towards our shared goals and vision. To uphold this value moving forwards, we warmly encourage people of all diverse lived experiences to apply. We commit to implementing an equitable selection process and will actively recruit for diversity.
