When we take these actions, we not only impact our communities at home but also in the industries we serve globally. We encourage all employees, vendors, and customers to bring their whole, authentic selves to all aspects of our business. Our goal is that all who walk through our doors feel welcome and comfortable knowing that they will be treated equitably regardless of their background and identity.</p> <p>Although this has always been our priority, we have committed ourselves to having these conversations and making necessary change happen where we live and work. Our dedicated committee and four active subcommittees work on a variety of important and meaningful Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.</p> <p>We recognize that this work will continue to evolve and will be ongoing as an important part of our culture. We are ever-evolving and continuously learning how to better serve all individuals who walk through our doors.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="pg-5304-1" class="panel-grid panel-has-style" ><div class="siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-5304-1" data-stretch-type="full-width-stretch" ><div id="pgc-5304-1-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-5304-1-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-slider panel-first-child panel-last-child" data-index="1" ><div class="so-widget-sow-slider so-widget-sow-slider-default-a04976eef775-5304" > <div class="sow-slider-base" style="display: none" tabindex="0"> <ul class="sow-slider-images" data-settings="{"pagination":true,"speed":800,"timeout":8000,"paused":false,"pause_on_hover":false,"swipe":true,"nav_always_show_desktop":true,"nav_always_show_mobile":"","breakpoint":"780px","unmute":false,"anchor":null}" data-anchor-id="" > <li class="sow-slider-image" style="visibility: visible;" > <img decoding="async" width="1917" height="358" src="https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1.jpg" class="sow-slider-background-image" alt="" style="" srcset="https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1.jpg 1917w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1-300x56.jpg 300w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1-1024x191.jpg 1024w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1-768x143.jpg 768w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide1-1536x287.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1917px) 100vw, 1917px" /> </li> <li class="sow-slider-image" style="visibility: hidden;" > <img decoding="async" width="1917" height="358" src="https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2.jpg" class="sow-slider-background-image" alt="" style="" srcset="https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2.jpg 1917w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2-300x56.jpg 300w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2-1024x191.jpg 1024w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2-768x143.jpg 768w, https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2023/09/dei-slide2-1536x287.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1917px) 100vw, 1917px" /> </li> </ul> <ol class="sow-slider-pagination"> <li><a href="#" data-goto="0" aria-label="display slide 1"></a></li> <li><a href="#" data-goto="1" aria-label="display slide 2"></a></li> </ol> <div class="sow-slide-nav sow-slide-nav-next"> <a href="#" data-goto="next" aria-label="next slide" data-action="next"> <em class="sow-sld-icon-thin-right"></em> </a> </div> <div class="sow-slide-nav sow-slide-nav-prev"> <a href="#" data-goto="previous" aria-label="previous slide" data-action="prev"> <em class="sow-sld-icon-thin-left"></em> </a> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="pg-5304-2" class="panel-grid panel-has-style" ><div class="panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-5304-2" ><div id="pgc-5304-2-0" class="panel-grid-cell" ><div id="panel-5304-2-0-0" class="so-panel widget widget_text panel-first-child" data-index="2" ><div class="panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5304-2-0-0" > <div class="textwidget"><h2 style="text-align: center;">Project Categories</h2> </div> </div></div><div id="panel-5304-2-0-1" class="so-panel widget widget_sow-features panel-last-child" data-index="3" ><div class="so-widget-sow-features so-widget-sow-features-default-a8e48eb3a664-5304" > <div class="sow-features-list sow-features-responsive"> <div class="sow-features-feature sow-icon-container-position-top" style="display: flex;

</h3> <p>An expansion occurs when people with diverse identities and experiences finally gain access to collaborative spaces and are given the platform to speak and be heard. Empathy grows. Fuller ideas bloom. Stronger communities, subsisting on many roots, form, and flourish. It’s important to continually appraise my privilege and apply it to nurturing this expansion – to elevate marginalized voices and actively listen to them; to be accountable and ready for repair.

I knew the best way to do that was to immerse myself in a team that was committed to making the positive changes our company wanted to enact. Working with a group of people that passionately cared about diversity, equity and inclusion meant I could not only contribute to the conversation, but I could learn so much in the areas that I had blind spots. I’m excited to be a part of a group that is moving our company forward in ways that truly matter.</p> <img decoding="async" src="https://divcomwp-static.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2021/05/Chris-Campbell-300x300.png" alt="Christopher Campbell" style="width: 70px; float: left; margin-right: 20px;" > <p> <strong>Christopher Campbell</strong><br> He/Him/his </p> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="modal-footer"> <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="modal fade" id="myModal3" role="dialog"> <div class="modal-dialog">  <div class="modal-content"> <div class="modal-body"> <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> <h3> What is your WHY for joining our DEI committee? </h3> <p>I am very proud of my company for starting this committee.

Not only did I acquire new professional skills, but I also gained the confidence to advocate for my ideas. Everyone I worked with was friendly and supportive, allowing me to gain collaboration and communication skills that supported cross-departmental projects with customer service, sales, and marketing teams. I was also provided the freedom to use my recent graduate degree and past work experience to conduct marketing audits for seven company brands and present my findings to respective managers and leadership. Lastly, the most important skill I learned during my internship was using my unique DEI perspective to identify and propose solutions for making event venues more accessible and inclusive. Overall, the internship program was an essential stepping stone in my career, allowing me the freedom to learn new skills and the confidence to find my leadership style.
