CRIW Makes Changes to Increase Faculty Participation in its Leadership Roles
The Centre for Research on Inclusion at Work (CRIW) today announced a change in its leadership structure to encourage more faculty members at 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Sprott School of Business to get involved in its leadership.
In the new leadership structure, CRIW鈥檚 governance responsibilities are shared among three directors. The required term is reduced to three years to make it easier for faculty members to commit to volunteering for CRIW鈥檚 leadership roles. CRIW will now be managed by an Outgoing Director, an Operational Director and an Incoming Director.
As the Outgoing Director, Dr. Merridee Bujaki, mainly performs an advisory role, supporting the other directors, while also functioning as the provider of organizational memory. In her role as Operational Director, Dr. Luciara Nardon, is in charge of the Centre鈥檚 day-to-day operations and execution of strategic directions. As the Incoming Director, Dr. Andrew Webb, is responsible for introducing new initiatives and gaining experience to lead the Centre鈥檚 operations next year.
Directors, Dr. Bujaki and Dr. Nardon, who have been serving in CRIW鈥檚 leadership for 10 and four years respectively hope the changes will encourage more faculty members to get involved. Both agree that being at the helm of CRIW is a rewarding experience, but the previous requirement to lead the Centre for five years could be an issue that discourages other faculty members from taking on a leadership role.
鈥淥ver the years, we have seen interest in CRIW鈥檚 initiatives grow,鈥 they said. 鈥淲e hope the change encourages others to get involved in leading the Centre.鈥
Incoming Director, Dr. Webb, who joined CRIW鈥檚 leadership team last year, would like to see more engagement to ensure the organization鈥檚 long-term success.
鈥淐RIW鈥檚 continued success depends on the participation and involvement of volunteer faculty members,鈥 he said.
To be eligible for a leadership position at CRIW, individuals must be a faculty member at the Sprott School of Business. The director roles have a three-year term. Each director will progress through Incoming, Operational, Outgoing Director positions. In general, each position as Director tends to take a commitment of an average of four hours per week.
Faculty members interested in knowing more about leadership opportunities at CRIW are encouraged to contact Operational Director, Luciara Nardon at luciara.nardon@carleton.ca.
Hosted at 杏吧原创 University鈥檚 Sprott School of Business, CRIW鈥檚 mission is to conduct and share research that advances diversity, equity and inclusion at work.
