The WIHEA Advisory Group is an internal arrangement which consists of Fellows, Alumni and an external member of WIHEA and is chaired by the Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education). The Group advises the Director of WIHEA on operational planning and strategic direction, and advises the Academy on its internal processes and procedures. It assists in the consideration of Fellowship nominations and project funding allocations, and suggests areas for attention and activity by the Fellows and/or the Academy as a whole, reviewing the effectiveness of WIHEA at regular intervals. The Group also acts as an ambassador for WIHEA in departments, the University, and the wider context of Higher Education.
