“Howard Brown has been an excellent partner in helping drive a positive impact to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within my organization! Through their customized workshops, thought leadership, and ongoing educational support, we’ve been able to create an even more affirming environment for LGBTQ+ employees to bring their whole selves to the workplace. They also spur many to action beyond the office through volunteer opportunities that give team members a chance to give back to the community in a truly win-win partnership.”
