Through our national Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging for Success (DIBS) strategic initiative and each of our team member networks, we celebrate and value the identities, perspectives and contributions of everyone. One of the best things about this firm is that we know we do not have all the answers, and even when we are not shouting it from the mountaintops, we are doing a tremendous amount of work behind the scenes to make sure that diversity, inclusion, and belonging are part of who we are and not simply an initiative.” Shanté George – chief of staff, DIBS steering committee member and New York-based principal
