Diversity

Nareit VP John Jones spoke on a panel about diversity in commercial real estate at the CBCF’s Annual Legislative Conference.

REITworks keynote speaker says U.S. sits at a “crucial juncture.”

Panelists also say companies are in the early stages of developing DEI strategy.

REITworks is an educational conference where REIT industry professionals will have the opportunity to learn about the latest developments in environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance impacting the real estate sector.

Nareit will host a webinar, “REITs and Key Social Initiatives: Disclosures and Impact on Investment,” on Aug. 27 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

The deadline to apply for Nareit’s 2020 Diversity & Inclusion Recognition Awards is Friday, Aug. 28, 2020.

Nareit, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other leading groups have sent a letter to the Senate Banking Committee Heads in support of H.R. 5084, legislation that would establish a model to boost diversity on boards through disclosure.

Representatives from Duke Realty Corp., Healthpeak Properties, and Camden Property Trust recently sat down with Nareit for a Q&A on their award-winning programs.
