The Panel Pledge is a commitment taken by public sector panelists, facilitators and event organizers to affirm their commitment to diversity, inclusivity and Anti-Racism and anti-discrimination. Upholders of the Pledge will ensure they only support events whose speakers, moderators and facilitators are representative of the true diversity of Canada. The Panel Pledge is in response to the [https://www.canada.ca/en/privy-council/corporate/clerk/call-to-action-anti-racism-equity-inclusion-federal-public-service.html Clerk’s Call to Action on Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion] and in support of the areas of focus of [https://www.canada.ca/en/privy-council/topics/blueprint-2020-public-service-renewal.html Beyond 2020] to promote the representation of systemically marginalized groups.

'''History'''
The [[Panel_Pledge]] was adapted from work done by three Australian organizations, in effort of increasing gender parity on panels. Launched at Shared Services Canada in 2019, the initial GC Panel Pledge required pledges to commit to not speaking on male-only panels. Those who took the panel pledge also committed to advocating for women’s representation on panels by asking the following questions:
# Are there women, or equal numbers of men and women, participating in the panel?
# What is the event organizer doing to ensure gender diversity at their event?
# Will the organizers commit to reaching out to additional resources to attain gender balance on their panel and at their event?
Taking the '''#GCPanelPledge''' represented a commitment to advancing the profile of women across the Government of Canada- both in and out of the STEM space. For more information please see: [[Panel Pledge/About the pledge|https://wiki.gccollab.ca/Panel_Pledge/About_the_pledge]]
