Did you know?

• That despite initiatives to encourage change, the number of female surveyors remains very low.
• The surveying profession needs to attract and retain females.
• There are new and long established initiatives working to tackle:
  • lack of peer support
  • organisational culture and attitudes
  • unsupportive education and training environments
  • gender stereotyping in careers advice and recruitment.

Some current initiatives include - International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) Under represented groups working party, Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Raising the Ratio, Women in Property (UK), JIVE partners, and National Society for Professional Surveyors (US) forum for Equal Opportunity. there are many more...

What is the global network?

It's a forum for discussion, for sharing experience, for access to examples of best practice such as mentoring, and for support. It's a link for those with similar aims, and it's a point of contact for those doing research in the area.

• It will disseminate examples of best practice around the world
• It will provide links to other female friendly initiatives
• There will be regular updates of topical research
• There will be ongoing debates about current issues that anyone can join in
• The network will develop in a style according to the wishes of the members, so suggestions will be welcomed.
• There will be a virtual conference in June 2004.

Who is it for?

It's a forum for anyone involved in surveying anywhere in the world at any stage in their career.

Why a global network?

It gives us a unique opportunity to find out what is happening in our professional sphere in countries other than our own. what is different? what is the same? We can learn form each other's experience of surveying.
