Where are families welcome? Everywhere, demonstrates New Zealand's speaker of the House, Trevor Mallard.
Written by Kristin Donner
The world is swooning over a photo of speaker Trevor Mallard feeding a colleague's baby while conducting a session of parliament this week.
When colleague, Tamati Coffey returned from paternity leave, his son received the VIP treatment. Speaker Mallard's photo with baby sends a strong message to New Zealand and the world - families are welcome here. His gesture depicts an inclusive workplace where parents can feel supported and celebrated.
The Animation Guild's Family And Membership Committee continues to foster discussions about how our industry can incorporate this same spirit of inclusivity. We host workshops on the topics of health and wellness, family leave, member rights, and best practices, as well as family-friendly community-building events. If you have an idea for an event or a topic that needs attention, please reach out to us!
Together, we have the power to create a more robust animation industry and a more inclusive world.
