  • 2020 Annual Report
    DIVERSITY + INCLUSION 2020 ANNUAL REPORT ® A Message from our President and CEO The year 2020 will go down in our history books in many ways. From the pandemic, the historic storms and certainly the social justice issues that continue to face our country. Shelter’s diversity and inclusion journey officially began over 32 years ago with the creation of the diversity intern program. Through the years we have introduced a diverse student population to our company and the industry as a whole. We have successfully hired and retained a segment of those students within our company. Through the years we continue to look for opportunities to strengthen this core value. We have dedicated positions within the company charged with enhancing our focus and attention to continued improvements. In 2018, we adopted the Principles of Community, which stated the importance and value of a diverse workforce. As a company we need to continue to review and commit to those important tenets that at the end of the day make our company stronger. Our Employee Resource Groups did not take 2020 off. They adapted to a new way of meeting and engaging. From our Emerging Professionals Network (EPN), the Shelter’s Women’s Advocacy Group (SWAG), the Multicultural Group (MCG), the Happy Work Team (HWT), and Shelter’s ability awareness group, Ra11y, each group found a way to continue their programming and have an impact in their respective areas. As we review the year, my hope is you will see that Shelter has a history of a strong dedication to Diversity and Inclusion.
