HOUSTON, March 5, 2018 /3BL Media/ - The National Diversity Council is proud to announce the 2018 Top 25 Companies for Diversity in Texas based on gender and minority representation in executive leadership and boards of directors. These organizations will be recognized on April 11, 2018 at the 14th Annual Texas Diversity and Leadership Conference.
“I would like to commend the organizations who have made this distinguished list,” said Dennis Kennedy, Founder and Chair of the National Diversity Council. “Although the highlighted companies have made some progress in their inclusion efforts, our hope is that this report will motivate them to continue progressing in a positive direction.”
Each of the 25 companies has been analyzed and compared against Texas demographics in the recently released report “Workforce Diversity and Corporate Governance: A Quantitative Analysis of Diversity and Inclusion in Texas Fortune 1000 Companies”. The National Diversity Council utilized various resources such as census reports, corporate websites, internal contacts, and external diversity associations to gather and report accurate information.

The Texas Diversity and Leadership conference is a three-day event that will give organizations the opportunity to explore the tools and resources necessary to build diverse workforces and remain competitive on the global stage. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in informational sessions covering topics such as “Unconscious Bias,” “The Impact of Multiculturalism on the Healthcare Industry,” and “Countering Islamaphobia.” This year’s keynote speakers are Princeton University Professor Emeritus, Dr. Cornel West, Florida’s 43 Governor, Jeb Bush and Former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary, Juliàn Castro.
