MANAGING BOARD LEVEL

CHAIR OF COMMITTEE ON DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

The chair of the DEI committee is responsible for providing staff with resources and support, as well as pursuing cross-section initiatives around coverage, community/audience relationships, and staff development. While the Head of DEI works closely with the corporate board and the managing board, this is a position that requires strong relationships with staff at every level of Spectator, from trainees to deputies. As such, the chair of the DEI committee should have a strong understanding of every section in Spectator, and the history of the organization as a whole.

The chair will be responsible for matters regarding DEI within our journalism, audience relationships, and staff management, and is responsible for communication efforts often and transparently. As part of staff development, they may help plan org-wide bonding events through the year, keep staff apprised of the professional opportunities available to them as members of Spectator, and work to support staff in their professional endeavors through networking.

As a member of the Managing Board, the chair of the DEI committee sits on Spectator's Editorial Board.
