Founder's Welcome

Dennis KennedyThe Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging landscape has changed dramatically in recent years. Slowly, more companies have understood the value of DEIB to innovation, recruiting, retaining, and developing a competitive workforce in today’s global environment. There is a lot of uncertainty in today’s climate which has made it imperative for companies to redefine their business models. The goal is to focus on value-driving initiatives that yield more innovative teams that connects better with the increasingly diverse marketplace.

Talent comes in all shades and it is important that organizations have the tools, resources, and education to prepare their leaders to focus on taking on a multicultural workplace. There is a paradigm shift from a monolithic culture to one that is multi- cultural and inclusive. It is incumbent upon leaders to educate themselves as to why DEIB is important, not just for business, but for individuals.

With that said, I would like to welcome you to the Diversity First Consortium where we provide the most comprehensive and innovative solutions for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging to advance DEIB and deliver a more just and equitable workplace. DEIB is not something you fix; it is a path. Let us work together in creating viable initiatives that will lead to real change.

Cordially,

Dennis Kennedy
Founder
DEIB Consortium
