As citizens, service providers, employers and competitors – for business and talent – we are collectively committed to recruitment, hiring, management and governance practices that:

• Increase the representation of people of color and women throughout our organizations, especially in management, senior management and board governance positions.


• Retain and promote people of color and women.


• Encourage our organizations to reflect, and connect with, the diversity of the communities and customers we serve.

Our organizations profit when we attract and retain people from a multitude of backgrounds. By harnessing their skills, aptitudes, experience and approaches to problem-solving, our workplaces, communities and Commonwealth will be richer, our marketplaces will be broader, and out ability to attract employees, clients and businesses – locally, nationally and globally – will be more effective.

We therefore embrace the goals of Commonwealth Compact and pledge to measure our progress toward them over time, using the Commonwealth Compact benchmarks.
