InvestmentNews is proud to introduce the fifth annual Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion recognition program. It aims to tell the story of individuals and firms using their success, leadership skills, and willingness to implement and advocate for diversity and inclusion within the financial advisory industry.
“The firms selected as finalists this year exhibit qualities that create a diverse, equitable and inclusive workplace within the financial advice industry,” said Brittney Grimes, editorial special projects manager of InvestmentNews. “The initiatives at these distinguished firms allow employees to be their authentic selves and bring their best ideas to the table.”
Diversitas, along with the other firms and individuals making the fifth annual Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion list, is highlighted in the April 4 issue of InvestmentNews and online at dandiIN.com.
“We are thrilled that InvestmentNews has recognized Diversitas for its commitment to bringing more diversity to the wealth management industry and financial planning profession,” said Dr. Barry Mulholland, Ph.D., lead organizer of Diversitas and Director of The University of Akron’s Financial Planning Program. “We started Diversitas in 2016 to make the industry more inclusive through education, mentorship, and human connection. While we’ve accomplished a lot over the past six years, we still have a long way to go. I commend my fellow honorees for the work they are doing, and I know together we will create real change.”
