Having been bullied viciously for my race when I was in high school by white teachers and students, I am keen to do my part to stop racism and bullying. Solidarity with the BAME community.

I actively work to create opportunities for diverse voices at conferences, in publications, etc.

The Institute of Association Leadership is the professional community for current and future chief executives and c-suite professionals who lead within the unique environment of the membership sector.

Since its reemergence the IAL, now a Community Interest Company, has worked to advance its mission. Refocused on the elevation of association leaders, the IAL is committed to helping members to be the professionals capable of advancing society.

Our four core values are Community, Inclusivity, Professionalism and Development. Of course, as an organisation, we can do more. We will look to develop clear and meaningful policies and a code of conduct to ensure that we continue to advocate for diversity and inclusion in all that we do for our community, not just via our events.

As a socially responsible business, our focus is on supporting people, planet and prosperity; and through a variety of methods, we work with individuals and organisations in defining, developing and delivering high-impact leadership practices that inform innovative business ideas, generate economic success, and add value to communities.

Of course, as a company, we can do more. We will look to develop clear and meaningful policies and a code of conduct to ensure that we continue to advocate for diversity and inclusion in all that we do, not just our events.
