McAdams DIGs is a resource group whose mission is to cultivate an environment of diversity and inclusion through education, awareness, support and open conversation.
Every year, DIGs will lead and/or collaborate to host DEI-related events for the company. 2023’s events will be centered around:
- The Business Case for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
- Collaborating to host a company-wide DEI training with an external consultant
- Gender in the Workplace
- Race in the Workplace
“McAdams DIGS is important to me because the focus is not on giving everyone a seat at the table but on ensuring everyone is welcome at the table. One of my favorite quotes is “Society is unity in diversity” by George Mead, and that encompasses what McAdams DIGs is all about. Knowing the differences, understanding the concerns, and making a unified decision to make a lasting change for the overall greater good of society. ”
