Ob, Gyn & RS Culture and Belonging Committee Ambassadors
Formally our Department’s Diversity Committee, this committee will be reimagined to include representation across all working groups within our Department.
The goal of this committee is to support members in their professional development and exploration of EISC. Meetings will be monthly and focus on personal and collective growth, ways to get involved, and share resources (or needs for resources) in aligning all teams with our mission and values and promoting culture and belonging. It will be the responsibility of the representatives to report back on their teams and their shifting needs—as well as their individual needs. Our VCs of EISC will be able to provide resources for trainings, circles, etc. that are tailored to individual and collective needs.
