VPSG and Reference Groups' Memberships
Four committees have been established to facilitate the implementation of the Your Voice Action Plan:
- Voice Project Steering Group
- Culture and Communication Reference Group
- People Reference Group
- Technology Reference Group
Information on each of the groups, including membership, is provided below. Memberships are based on nominations from Deans, Heads of Institutes and the Joint Consultative Committees and have been selected to ensure equitable campus, gender, institute and faculty representation and provide a diversity of perspectives and expertise. In addition, responsible officers identified in the Your Voice Action Plan will be invited to attend Voice Project Steering Group and reference group meetings, as appropriate.
The Voice Project Steering Group (VPSG) has been reconfigured to reflect its role in guiding and reporting on the implementation of the Your Voice Action Plan. The VPSG will also oversee the work of three newly formed Reference Groups. In addition, the VPSG will support the enhancement of leadership and management development programs and the implementation of local area actions.
