Founder’s Welcome

I’m thrilled to welcome you to the Industry DEIB Consortium – IDEIC, a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to fostering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEIB) within our industry.

The landscape of our industry is rapidly evolving, and the need for a collaborative effort to address DEIB has never been greater. By joining forces, we can create a more inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

This consortium is not just about checking a box. It’s about building a stronger, more innovative industry that reflects the rich diversity of the world around us. When we leverage the talents and perspectives of all individuals, we unlock a wellspring of creativity and problem-solving power.

Here at the Industry DEIB Consortium, we will:

• Share best practices and resources: We’ll learn from each other’s successes and challenges, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge exchange.
• Develop and implement effective DEIB strategies: We’ll work together to create actionable plans that drive meaningful change within our organizations.
• Advocate for industry-wide change: We’ll use our collective voice to promote DEIB initiatives and hold ourselves accountable for progress.

This is a journey, not a destination. It will require commitment, collaboration, and a willingness to learn and grow. But together, we can make a real difference.

I encourage you to actively participate in our consortium’s activities. Share your ideas, engage in discussions, and leverage the network of passionate individuals dedicated to building a more equitable and inclusive industry.

Thank you for joining us on this important mission.

Sincerely,

Dennis Kennedy
Founder & Chairman
