DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
Initiative Spotlight : Cardinal Group
Cardinal launched it ’ s DEI Council in the Summer of 2020 .
The purpose of the council is to ensure that all team members can bring their best true selves to work each day . The council seeks to empower each team member while elevating their voice in the future trajectory of the company through honest communication , continued education , and proper representation .
As real estate practitioners , we have an important call to action to influence what future generations and leaders perceive what is possible in the workplace no matter color , race , gender , sexual orientation , or beliefs .
Currently , our council members work in every vertical of the company and serve a 12-18 month term with the option to renew for an additional term . More importantly , our Council sponsors business resource groups ( BRG ); each BRG has a representative on the council . These BRG ' s are an internal network of people that may face unique challenges and are designed to create connection , professional growth , and create an opportunity to discuss important issues .
Our BRG ' s are led by Cardinal team members and have a high participation rate .
We hope the industry will see a new normal regarding establishing DEI Councils and BRG ’ s and Cardinal is excited to continue our progression and participation . I believe it all starts with consistent team member engagement at all levels of the company .
As we look forward , we hope to see the real estate industry grow diversity substantially in every discipline while leaning into the fears , biases , and insecurities that stop our industry from making meaningful advancements in ensuring all professionals ( who have a positive impact on our business ) can bring their true self to work every day . www . aamdhq . org OCTOBER 2022 TRENDS | 9
