Inclusivity Council

Our commitment to the spirit of diversity, equity and inclusivity is underscored by the establishment of our Inclusivity Council, which is comprised of a diverse group of cross-divisional senior leaders who are passionate about and committed to furthering these efforts.

The mission of the Inclusivity Council is to foster an environment that encourages increased diversity across the organization, establishes and advances a culture of equity and belonging, and amplifies each employee’s potential by making C&F a safe place for everyone.

Supporting Diversity Through Employee Resource Groups

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) focus on women, LGBTQ+, AAPI, parents and caregivers, African Americans, LatinX, and those with disabilities themselves or at home. These groups have designed programming to educate employees about issues relevant to their communities and encourage allyship. Programming includes producing webinars and podcasts, hosting external speakers, and highlighting influential people during historical months and notable days.
