Dividends Through Diversity CEO Council
Nareit’s Dividends Through Diversity CEO Council provides thought leadership and recommendations for industry-wide progress in diversity, at the highest level. The CEO Council is made up of more than two dozen REIT CEOs, who collectively represent every segment of the REIT industry. The DTD CEO Council crafted and approved Nareit’s diversity plan to increase the publicly listed REIT industry’s visibility and appeal to diverse talent and businesses by focusing on people, partnerships, and philanthropy. With that objective, the CEO Council launched three committees that developed initiatives and recommendations for each pillar of the DTD strategic plan which were adopted by the broader DTD CEO Council and approved by Nareit’s Executive Board in 2022.
