SSA Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee
To ensure that the Statistical Society of Australia is diverse, equitable and inclusive, the Society established an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee in March of 2021. This committee has been charged with making recommendations regarding how the SSA can ensure that it is a truly diverse and inclusive society. The committee will be tasked with examining the processes and procedures already in place within the Society to determine what changes can be made to allow for greater diversity and inclusion, and making recommendations regarding those changes. Members of the committee are expected to serve for two years, and meetings take place every 6 weeks. This committee is chaired by the current SSA President or nominee, and members are recruited from the SSA community. The current members of the EDI committee are:
· Katrina Scurrah, Australian Institute of Family Studies, Vice-Chair · Alanah Cronin (Lani), Griffith University · Nicole De La Mata, University of Sydney · Beth Firipis · Atousa Ghahramani, Victoria University · Grace Joshy, Australian National University · Jessica Kasza, Monash University, Secretary · Christine Sommerville, University of Melbourne; Monash University A list of past members of the Committee can be found here.
