Diversity Panel

“Constructing Diversity – building a professional world, which values and respects diversity"

The CIC Diversity Panel meets four times a year and has representation from CIC’s members as well as some other interested parties including WES (Women’s Engineering Society) and the Diversity Housing Network. In 2010 the panel appointed Jane Wernick, who runs her own engineering firm in London as Chair. She succeeds Helen Stone who had been the previous chair for 13 years.

The Diversity Panel is a forum to share information and best practice, and it initiates projects that aim to improve diversity within the construction industry. The Panel also invites speakers to make presentations on topical themes. Find out more about Diversity Panel projects.

The Panel’s terms of reference are as follows:

• Advise the CIC Council and the Executive Board, on issues relating to diversity and equal opportunities;

• Link and co-ordinate the diversity activities of CIC members and other associated bodies of the construction industry;

• Identify and promote diversity policy and activities in the construction industry, to benefit society. Encourage their implementation, funding, dissemination and exploitation, including strategic aspects;

• Improve the perception and image of the construction industry through the promotion of diversity good practice.
