DesignForce has long stood as a sanctuary for AEC professionals, providing a secure space where professionals can feel empowered to speak freely about their unique journeys and challenges navigating their careers within the built environment. Rooted in a mission to positively impact the lives of those who work within the built environment, our foundation has always been built upon the principles of respect, understanding, and empowerment. Now, more than ever, we aim to elevate discussions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the built environment. Over the past few months, DesignForce has had the pleasure of sitting down with AEC trailblazers Jessica Bantom, Yiselle Santos Rivera, AIA, SHRM-SCP, NOMA, NAAB, WELL AP, Jared M. Green, PE, BC. GE, F.ASCE, NOMA, Chris Wilson, and Jeremiah Watts and picking their brains about their experiences with DEI within the greater built environment. The need to elevate and honor the experiences of all that touch this industry is ever critical. By amplifying these crucial discussions, we aim to catalyze positive change and cultivate a more inclusive built environment where every voice is heard and valued. Hopefully the experiences of these various industry leaders will inspire you to not only be a part of the dialogue but also, a part of the solution.

From crafting high-level policy frameworks to leveraging practical enablers like architecture, the journey towards a more inclusive society demands innovative solutions. But how do we effectively bridge the gap between theory and action? I am convinced that we need more seats at the table.
Turning policy into practice — how do we make social inclusion operational?

Global Leader for Equity, Diversity, and Belonging at DLR Group | Keynote Speaker | Award-winning Author of Design for Identity | Forbes BLK Member
"Historically, leaders have felt like they did have to have all the answers. And that if they didn’t it would be a sign of weakness. You know you look at the composition of our industry and of our profession, you have so many people of one identity designing for a completely diverse world." So glad I got to be a part of this Voices of Change video. Well done, DesignForce on creating this inspiring video highlighting the importance of navigating DEI in the built environments. #dei #deianddesign #inclusivedesign #designforce
