Contact EPHEA Executive Committee members via the linked email addresses, or at info@ephea.org.
Committee members and office bearers have responsibilities, in-depth information about this can be found at our roles and responsibilities page.
Chapters and convenors
Most states and territories have a local chapter where equity practitioners can discuss local issues and network formally or informally. New Zealand also had its own Chapter for New Zealand and Pacific region practitioners.
The opportunity to connect and participate in local networking opportunities between the biennial conferences is important for equity practitioners working in isolation. Issues relevant to all members can then be conveyed to the EPHEA Committee for action as appropriate.
GRANTS
EPHEA offers chapters access to funds to support local initiatives to support and strengthen state-based activity.
​
Submissions for funds are opened annually, or chapters can contact info@ephea.org with an outline of their request.
VACANCIES
Contact us if you are interested in filling a Chapter Convenor vacancy. You must be an EPHEA member and reside in that state, territory or country.
