Annual Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award
Manchester, NH – The Diversity Workforce Coalition (DWC) is seeking applications for its Annual Workplace Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award, which recognizes outstanding efforts of organizations that actively promote and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace.
All organizations across the corporate, government, community, and not-for-profit sectors are eligible to apply.
According to DWC Board President Monica Zulauf, “DEI initiatives can enhance workplace culture and help employees feel valued and respected. They can also increase productivity while helping organizations better understand the customers and communities they serve,” said Zulauf. “It’s important to celebrate the organizations that recognize these benefits and embrace DEI.”
Greenpath Financial Wellness and Mascoma Bank each won a 2023 DEI Award for exhibiting exemplary leadership in—and commitment to—advancing and advocating for DEI in the workplace and community. Merchants Fleet and NH Community Loan Fund were finalists.
Applications for this year’s award program will be accepted through February 2, 2024. Candidates will be selected for a virtual interview and/or site visit conducted by Selection Committee representatives. The winner will be announced at DWC’s annual DEI conference on March 7, 2024 at Southern NH University in Manchester. This year’s them is Ahead of the Curve – Navigating DEI in a Rapidly Evolving Environment.
