Basketball Ireland are recruiting participants to be part of the newly formed Diversity and Inclusion Committee. This committee will be formed as an evolution of the Diversity panel and will seek to represent all members of the Basketball Ireland community. The committee will advise the Basketball Ireland board and staff to help the organization be proactive and lead from the front in the sports industry.

Basketball Ireland has appointed Marianna Troy as the first Chairperson of the newly formed committee.

Marrianna had this to say about the appointment:

I would like to thank the Board of Basketball Ireland for entrusting me with the role of Chairperson for our Diversity Committee. It is both an honour and a responsibility that I take very seriously. Diversity is not just a buzzword; it’s a reflection of the rich tapestry of human experience. We all bring unique backgrounds, perspectives, and talents to the table and by embracing it will not only create a more welcoming environment but strengthen our organisation as a whole. It is our mission to ensure that every voice is heard, every background is respected, and every individual feels valued within our organisation. 

 

I look forward to working with our new committee members and working towards our shared goals and objectives.”

- Marriana Troy, Chairperson of  Basketball Ireland D&I Committee
