Diversity & Inclusiveness

Meridian’s Board recognizes and embraces the benefits of diversity in Board members. The following “Statement of Intent” was unanimously adopted by Meridian’s Board:

Meridian recognizes and embraces the benefits of diversity in Board members. A truly diverse Board will include and make good use of differences in the skills, regional and industry experience, background, race, gender and other attributes of Directors. These differences will be taken into account in determining the optimum composition of the Board. Board members who are recommended for election will be based on those best qualified while taking into account broad diversity required to represent our Membership of today and tomorrow.
