Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As a leader in the global expositions and conference industry, Diversified Communications recognizes its responsibility to drive discussions and actively advance the principles of racial equality, social justice, and inclusion. We believe that our communities -- the DC organization, Maine, and the global events industry -- are richer, stronger, and more dynamic when they are diverse, equitable, and welcoming.

Our Commitment

• Acknowledge that change begins from within. We will educate ourselves to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will be staunchly anti-racist, pro-LGBTQIA+, and accommodating to all abilities and circumstances.  We will stand against bias, intolerance, and discrimination of any kind.

• Foster work environments that are welcoming to and inclusive of everyone. Employees will feel comfortable and represented at offices and events. Equitable opportunities for success will exist for everyone. We will actively recruit candidates of diverse backgrounds to broaden and strengthen our employee population.  

• Ensure our external work reflects our beliefs and our mission. We will position our marketing to represent our diverse industries and customer base. We will foster diversity, equity, and inclusion discussions at our events and within industry associations.

• Create community partnerships. We will actively partner with community organizations who lead the way in social justice work to affect necessary changes where we work and live.
