Our Leadership
“When inclusion and diversity is at the core of our corporate culture—everyone wins! Diversity of our people is key to our success. Creating better opportunities for all is not just a good business decision, it improves experiences for customers and social impact on our community. Are you ready?”
“It’s the question our clients ask us everyday, “Can you create programming to support our diverse acquisition efforts?” We feel the answer is found by actively engaging a pipeline of diverse talent. The Partnership has expert knowledge of the talent that exists. This is why our JobBoard is created with a goal to reduce communication barriers, increase awareness of opportunities and challenge the notion that there are no professionals of color available.”
