Region V Committees and Volunteers

NCURA Region V committee members recognize, value, and celebrate the diversity of our membership and those in the field of research administration. We are committed to building and maintaining a diverse membership and a culture of inclusion. All members have a right, without regard to gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, social class, sexual orientation, personality, functional experience, or background, to fair and respectful treatment, equal access to resources to support professional growth, and equitable opportunities to contribute to NCURA’s success.

For more information and resources on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, please see the NCURA webpage.
