Roles and responsibilites

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.
