Q&A with Kelly Fuller, Senior Director, Talkwalker
From my experience, I’ve learned that procuring buy-in cannot be solely based on the financial implications of not doing D&I. Leaders must: believe systemic oppression exists; care and understand why we are in this position today; and support action needed to make a demonstrable impact, through investments in time & money.
Q&A with Kim Sample, President, PR Council
I love that the DAA commitment is summarized by the acronym ACT, which stands for Adopt, Champion and Track. We need less talk and more action on diversity, equity and inclusion - a business-critical issue, and I’m inspired that so many organizations across our industry, including the PR Council, are working together on DAA.
