SPECIAL ONLINE EDITION OF COUNCIL LINK ON DIVERSITY
-------------------------------------

In order to speed announcement of recent policy changes, a special edition of Council Link is being distributed to Equity members online.

As announced in the Spring issue of EQ, Council has introduced
By-Law and policy changes to promote a representative diversity within Council, its regional CPAGs, on committees struck for advisory purposes, and in any open solicitation of members for owner consultation purposes. 

These changes require the inclusion of a diversity statement in requests for member involvement, special effort to ensure all members are equally aware of the opportunity for participation, and specific outreach to those communities from which participation has historically been lacking. 

April's Council meeting also saw the introduction of new policy to make equal access to work opportunities an Ends priority

Members are encouraged to read this special edition of Council Link available at http://www.caea.com.

Copies of Council's Policy Governance Document is also available online at http://www.caea.com.

Feedback is welcome and encouraged. Correspondence should be sent to Second Vice-President Dawn Obokata at councilcontact at caea.com or President Allan Teichman at president at caea.com, or to either by mail through Equity's National Office.
