(INDIANAPOLIS) — Equality is now a priority in the workplace – and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce is eager to celebrate those leading the charge in this area.
The Jackson Lewis Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Champion Award recognizes an organization making ardent strides to become a more equitable workplace.
Judges will evaluate how nominees developed, promoted and executed DEI – and how it has made a difference for their organizations and beyond.
“It can be daunting to feel like we’re constantly surrounded by division in today’s culture, but one real positive is seeing Indiana companies accomplish much in bringing equality to the workplace and helping underrepresented groups thrive in the modern economy,” explains Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar.
Nominations are due August 10 and can be submitted at www.indianachamber.com/DEIaward.
Nationwide law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is sponsoring the award.
“It’s so important to shine a light on the companies and professionals who understand the value of creating an environment where all people can flourish, regardless of background, identity or experience,” says Brian McDermott, managing principal of Jackson Lewis’ Indianapolis office. “Jackson Lewis is committed to expanding mindsets and integrating DEI firmwide, and we are thrilled to be part of such a powerful program that recognizes like-minded organizations and people.”
The winner will be recognized at the Indiana Chamber’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Summit on October 4. In addition to Jackson Lewis P.C., Summit sponsors include gold sponsors Horizon Bank and Teachers Credit Union, as well as silver sponsor Lumina Foundation for Education.
