Key policy issues;
- Inclusion & diversity-focus on ongoing funding and
development of the ISTAT education and student development programs throughout
the world. - Recoverability-Policies that support the industry over the
next 12 months and into the future as we look to recover from current
crisis. Work with ISTAT to support
recovery through lobbies, support functions and global practices - Sustainability- The skies are clearer but once back in
operation “green” issues will once again be on the agenda. Work with ISTAT to co-ordinate a voice and
address key long term issues
