As I announced on September 23, 2016, on June 30, 2016, Professor Angela Hildyard will complete her third term as Vice-President, Human Resources & Equity.

At that time I indicated that I would establish a representative Advisory Committee, which I will chair, to advise me on the appointment of Professor Hildyard’s successor. Following a call for nominations, I am pleased to announce that the membership of the Advisory Committee is as follows:

• Mr. Larry Alford, Chief Librarian
• Ms Allison Dubarry, Project Manager, Information Management, Division of University Advancement
• Ms Erin Jackson, Executive Director, Integrated HR
• Ms Jenna Jacobson, Graduate Student, Faculty of Information

• Professor Charmaine Williams, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work
• Professor Trevor Young, Dean, Faculty of Medicine and Vice-Provost, Relations with Health Care Institutions

The Advisory Committee is interested in receiving advice on priorities that the Committee should consider for the mandate for the next Vice-President and qualities that should be sought in the next Vice-President to ensure execution of the mandate. Comments should be submitted via the online form available at https://uoftgc.wufoo.com/forms/vicepresident-human-resources-equity-advice/ by Wednesday, November 18, 2015. Following input on the mandate and qualities, a call for nominations and a position profile will be distributed.

Questions should be directed to the Secretary, Mr. Louis Charpentier at l.charpentier@utoronto.ca.
