Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Initiative
About
In alignment with the strategic goals of HMS and Harvard University, CP&F has initiated the development of its own Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIB) program. Recognizing the importance of supporting the DIB efforts of HU and HMS, CP&F also appreciates its unique position to make meaningful impact within its sphere of influence and continuously improving programs focused on inclusive excellence. In February 2021, Steve Maiorisi, Chief CP&F Officer, led a DIB kickoff meeting. Since then, an Oversight Committee has been established and a chairs has been named. The initial Oversight Committee meeting took place in June 2021 followed by the first subcommittee established in August. Next steps include the development of the Oversight Committee, the Climate & Engagement Subcommittee, the Staff & Management Development Subcommittee and the future subcommittees and focused groups.
