Washington, D.C. – June 4, 2019 — The Diversity Project North America, an initiative sponsored by NICSA, is today announcing the hiring of its first full-time leader, Jylanne Dunne, as well as a number of additions to its list of founding members and the launch of five operating committees to execute several short-term objectives.
NICSA, a not-for-profit trade association that connects global asset management industry participants, sponsors the Diversity Project and oversees its mission of accelerating progress toward a more inclusive and diverse asset management industry.
The number of participating firms has grown from a total of 14 to 30 since October 2018, when the Diversity Project North America was launched. Since October, founding members have appointed a CEO Advisory Council to provide strategic leadership, and an Executive Steering Committee to drive execution of initiatives. The two governing bodies have identified and launched five operating committees to lead the tactical implementation of the Diversity Project’s short-term mission-critical objectives. They include:
- Benchmarking;
- Best Practices;
- Content & Events;
- Industry Engagement; and
- Talent Management.
