“I have been a member of NEEOPA/The Inclusion Circle for over 7 years now through a number of organisations. The connections, network, sharing of leading practices as well as collaboration has been a great source of support for me in a space that is continually evolving and maturing. NEEOPA/The Inclusion Circle has also provided an opportunity for me to pay it forward by being an active member of the executive for a number of years and providing insights from a University perspective at a couple of forums. In what is often a challenging space, NEEOPA/The Inclusion Circle provides a vital role of sharing and connection..”

— Sarah Abbott, formerly Head of Diversity, Leadership & Inclusion, University of Sydney (2020)
