NYGC’s Commitment to
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In response to recent events that have highlighted systemic racism and inequalities in our society, NYGC established its Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Group (DE&I AG) to put the principles outlined above into practice through a number of action items that we are implementing. Some initial prospects include providing appropriate unconscious bias training and resources to employees; developing mentorship opportunities and internship programs for underrepresented minorities; evaluating our hiring process and measuring overall engagement; and broadening and encouraging diversity, equity, and inclusion at NYGC events.
We recognize that there is still work to be done that will require sustained commitment from the entire organization, and we embrace the opportunity.
