Free Summit tickets for underrepresented groups

| |by

At the NHC, we believe that the housing industry is stronger and more innovative when it reflects the diverse communities it serves. That’s why, as part of our commitment to fostering inclusion and empowering all voices, we are offering a limited number of free tickets to the Northern Housing Summit for housing professionals from underrepresented groups.

These free tickets are designed for aspiring leaders who might not typically have the chance to attend a conference of this kind.

This year’s Summit brings together thought leaders, innovators, and changemakers in the housing sector. We want to make sure the conversation includes a diverse range of perspectives.  Confernce attendees  will have the opportunity to:

  • Network with industry peers and experts
  • Participate in impactful discussions on the future of housing
  • Gain insights into the latest trends and best practices
  • Contribute to shaping an inclusive housing landscape

 

What is an underrepresented group?

The National Housing Federation’s 2023 EDI survey showed that the following groups were underrepresented in leadership positions within the housing sector.

  • Females: Only 47% of executives and 44% of board members are female compared to 54% of the workforce.
  • Disability or long-term health condition: Only 9% of the sector’s workforce have a disability or long-term health condition compared to 24% of the population and 29% of residents.
  • BAME: The ethnic diversity of the workforce is not reflected in executive positions. 10% of the workforce is Black/African/Caribbean/Black British but only 3% of executives. 5% of the workforce is Asian/Asian British but only 1% of executives.

If you identify as belonging to any of the above groups, you can apply for a free ticket to the Northern Housing Summit.

This opportunity is being run on a trust-based basis and there is no need to disclose any personal information. Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

 

If you identify as part of an underrepresented group within the housing profession and are interested in joining us, please apply for your free ticket by Monday 18th November 2024. To apply please email Kristina.dawson@northern-consortium.org.uk
