Diversity, Equity,
& Inclusion
At Studio One Eleven, we believe in the tremendous value of diversity and inclusion in our community and our workplace. Every individual is encouraged and rewarded for reaching their greatest potential, and we endeavor to ensure fairness as we diligently strive to make the right choices.
The firm has an active Racial Equity Diversity and Inclusion Committee (REDI Committee) that meets monthly to examine the firm’s commitment and create initiatives for all staff members. The REDI Committee works to create an anti-racist culture at RDC-S111 and Fathom, one that is founded on NOMA’s B.R.A.V.E. declaration: Banish racism, Reach out to those who are grieving, Advocate for the disinherited, Vote in every American election and Engage each human that you meet as YOU would want to be engaged. The effort is hallmarked by:
Diversity
A staff that reflects the mix of racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds that make up our world.
Equity
Inclusion
