College advances diversity with new policy
The College has implemented a new policy to adopt gender inclusive language across the organization.
To support our ongoing commitment to diversity, the College recently updated the online application form and members’ area to include a third gender identification option.

This initiative supports the College’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and respect when communicating with applicants, College members and the public.
