DEI resources at your fingertips

Organizations are expected to reflect the communities where they operate, their customers, and even those who frequent their customers’ businesses. In this challenging hiring environment, diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) are more important than ever to create a sense of belonging for all associates. NAFEM is pleased to offer resources for your use to start a new initiative or expand your existing efforts with diversity, equity and inclusion at your organization.
