The petition, put forth by PCMA (Professional Convention Management Association), highlights three main goals the participating company or organization promises to take:
1. We will make our workplaces and events open and trusting settings.
2. We will provide education on barriers to inclusivity, including unconscious bias.
3. We will share what we know, what we learn, and what needs improvement.
Zillah Byng-Thorne, CEO of Future says,
“The Ascent CEO Promise is a crucial and positive movement that aligns perfectly with our values and outlook at Future. I am proud to sign my name alongside many distinguished leaders working to empower those challenged by discrimination to find success.”
