The OPC Recruitment, Retention and Advancement Sub-Committee was formed in the fall of 2021 in response to one of the areas of priority identified by the EDI Advisory Committee and the 2020 Census Report. This sub-committee was formed through a call out to all Members and consists of individuals representing diverse identities, roles and geographic perspectives.
The purpose of this sub-committee is to support the strategic goal of improving service to Members as well as promoting greater diversity in the profession, including identifying and removing barriers to inclusion. The work of this sub-committee is ongoing and aims to be responsive to the needs of our Members.
We encourage you to visit this page periodicially for progress updates by the sub-committee.
