If you have a question and are seeking an answer, we have created a form to submit your question anonymously here as an alternative to the message board. Sometimes, learning is messy, and we want to create space for that without potentially doing harm to members. We want to support all in this work and understand that DE&I are not easy topics and that there is always hesitation about saying "the wrong thing". We understand that many members may not know where to start with DE&I work, and others are along their journey but are hitting barriers in their understanding or ability to move forward. The Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI) Task Force will recommend a strategy to improve the association‘s policies, leadership structure, and engagement systems in an effort to create an equitable member experience and encourage a diverse and inclusive outdoor industry.ĪORE aims to support members and member programs to leverage their positions, programs, and roles to foster inclusivity both where and for who they serve. Task force members are selected on the demonstrated skills and expertise as defined in the specific task force position description. Task forces are working groups composed of current association members in good standing or designated individuals committed to a specific, time-bound task assigned by the board of directors. We’ve routinely invested in consultants for continued learning (governance, DE&I, bylaws) We do an annual BOD profiles (composition of the BOD) and identify skills needed to govern in alignment with the strategic framework and we look to identify gaps and make intentional invitations to serve We do annual BOD assessments for performance and ability to coach/connect with members We have a transparent application process to serve as a volunteer

We’ve assessed the process and bias in BOD and committee recruitment we now can say we have a standard process and clear expectations and role delineations for all positions We’ve revisited our systems and structures The significance for this, in governance, is that AORE is working hard to ensure that anyone who wishes to participate will find the opportunity to do so and contribute in the ways that works best for them as a volunteer, and in alignment with AORE’s mission. We now know that Board of Directors is responsible for determining the Strategic Framework and the staff are responsible for programs and operations.

Board, staff and volunteers have historically misunderstood responsibility and authority. One of the things AORE has learned is that membership and leadership has not always had a good understanding of the difference in governance and operations. What role AORE can play as an association: AORE is continually working on inclusion and internal change in behaviors, policies, and practices.ĪORE is working hard on inclusion and internal change in behaviors, policies, and practices.
