The CAUTHE Pledge
Our shared commitment to diversity, inclusion and the human rights of all — because difference makes CAUTHE stronger.
A responsibility we take seriously
CAUTHE is the leading academic tourism, hospitality and events association in Australasia, representing many providers, universities and organisations. We have a responsibility to ensure our position on diversity and inclusion ensures the human rights of all. Not only is such a commitment the right thing to do but the reputation of our organisation depends on it.
We want CAUTHE to be an organisation that attracts membership and of which our members continue to be proud.
CAUTHE represents members who differ by — and whose perspectives we actively seek and hear:
Ethnicity
GenderSexual orientationAgeDisability statusTheir intersections
One of the things I’ve learnt is that if you don’t intentionally include, the system unintentionally excludes.

While it may not always be possible to ensure balance amongst the different groups of members, CAUTHE commits to doing all that we can to achieve this. The same can be said for all forms of diversity — giving voice to those who may previously have been invisible may, in some cases, mean rearrangement of the ways that business is usually done.
What I commit to
“For all CAUTHE events, activities and initiatives, I commit to…”
