Call for LGBTQIA+ Network Conveners
The SAHGB is currently inviting applications from suitable and committed individuals to take on a leading role in the LGBTQIA+ Network.
Our EDI Networks have been running for a number of years and are established forums within the Society. We are looking for a new Network Convener to continue the work of previous conveners to proactively lead the Network, typically across a term of three years which is renewable with consent from the Board of Trustees.
As a Network Convener, you will take a leading role in instigating and sustaining opportunities for engagement, representation and support amongst members in your network, and between members and the SAHGB management team and Board of Trustees.
Being a Network Convener involves:
Acting as a focal point of communication and advocacy for the Society's broader aims to support EDI and ECR work, through close liaison with the SAHGB Education and EDI Lead
Advising the SAHGB Board of Trustees and the management team on policy and matters relevant to your network
Communicating regularly with members of your network
Creating informal and formal opportunities for member to meet and work together
Proposing, organising and promoting specific themes and key issues of debate by means of biennial symposiums
Initiating workshops on particular themes and agendas that respond to the rising interests of different networks
Contributing to the content of the Society's regular newsletters, magazines, website features, podcasts and social media posts to inform wider members of the key agenda advocated and activities organised by your network
Please note that Network Conveners work on a voluntary basis.
