OACETT strives to have a culture where all OACETT members feel valued, empowered and supported. A tangible step in this direction was the establishment in 2023 of the Belonging and Inclusion Committee (BIC) (formerly known as the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee (DEIC)). Guided by the Belonging and Inclusion Strategy developed in partnership with CultureAlly, BIC advances belonging through purposeful action and accountable leadership.
