Our Community
You can join any of our community groups as part of your TRA membership.
Our Community
The TRA is not just about collaboration; it’s about managing output, invoking change and taking action. Led by our members, we have several communities within the TRA that our members can join, by invitation. Run by our TRA Ambassadors and Mentors, these groups set annual objectives, and work on projects for the wider good of the travel risk management industry. Collaboration and communication is key, and the work that starts in our community groups goes on to inform policies and processes for organisations worldwide.
Gary Hurst & Carol Fergus
Accommodation Conformity Group

With industry experts made up of Programme Managers, Security, QHSE, ESG, Data Security, and Fire Safety, this group is tasked with creating a minimum level of acceptance criteria for organisations to adopt to ensure security and safety is at the heart of their accommodation programmes.

DEI Community
Led by two of our TRA Mentors, Lisa Sumner and Carolyn Pearson, our DEI community meet regularly to consider the various risks that affect people when they travel. We work together and as a collective to champion the travel industry to make positive change, creating inclusivity for all. We consider people’s physical and mental health, travelling with a condition and personal life choices, all with the aim of making travel meaningfully accessible and safer for ALL.

Tech Community
The Travel Risk Academy Technology & Data Community is at the forefront of technology, communications, automation, data integration and AI to improve how we manage travel risks. Through innovation, leadership and collaboration, we help organisations adopt and drive smart products and services that predict, assess, model, validate and respond to risks, supporting duty of care and traveller wellbeing at every step.
TRA in the Community
It is important for us that we represent our members across a variety of organisations and we have affiliations with a number of organisations. Equally, supporting our local communities and our future generations is part of our DNA. You can see more about our activities here.
