Inequalities persist in all aspects of sport and physical activity. If all members of your committees share similar characteristics, they're more likely to have common viewpoints and experiences.
As a result, they might have less awareness of the challenges and barriers that others face.
Having people in positions of responsibility who represent different groups within your local community can help create a welcoming environment.
This can lead to better decision making, with a focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion.
It can also promote growth and good community relationships.
