Tai and Nita, Thank you for presenting your honest, direct and informative presentations to CREW. My hope is that our CREW members can really absorb, share and practice the stories, thoughts and solutions that you've shared today. Everything you said is right on!!

It is so helpful hearing specific stories that have happened to people so we can learn about what their experiences have been and what led up to the situation.

YES! Privilege is not the problem - it's how are we using it??

Tai is correct - And challenge your HR and recruiters to bring you POC. When they come back with all white or the same type of candidates - Tell them to go back and bring you a more diverse group. You have to challenge this.

Oh and start planting seeds with youth in the community.

YES

De La Salle - The Contingent - CRE can work with these programs

I've heard of De La Salle recently too. Great program

There are a lot more. I can send a list

That would be great, we can connect that to members and our Future Leaders and CREW Career committees.

@Tamara, if you get a list, can you send it to all of us? I'm not a CREW member, but my co-worker Kelsey Schneider is

Will do! I can send it to Alisa, so she can send it out to everyone

Thank you!!

The homeownership gap in the black community was systematic everyone should read about it!

Our industry is so competitive; not sure we should feed into that for DEI work, which we're trying to assert we need to approach as a baseline effort.

Thank you than you thank you!

Yes, the recorded session and slides will be shared!
