近50年来，温德米尔已经深深扎根于悦博体育开展业务的社区。 However, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement has made us realize that our roots don’t extend as deep as we thought. 这也让悦博体育意识到，在过去的几十年里，房地产行业在加剧系统性种族主义的过程中发挥了重要作用，悦博体育通过划红线和引导，使许多历史上被边缘化的社区成员无法悦博体育通过拥有住房来积累财富。

今年夏天，悦博体育在一家名为“超越”（Moving Beyond）的组织的支持下，开始了一场强有力的多元化、公平和包容之旅。这家组织专门帮助企业整合和实施DEI。 接下来，悦博体育成立了两个内部工作组，由Windermere特许经营所有者、经理、代理商和员工组成，以指导和实施悦博体育在10个州的组织中的DEI工作。

Following three months of collective conversations, we have identified several short- and long-term initiatives on which to focus – all with the aim of building a diverse organization that fosters a sense of belonging and provides equal opportunity across all aspects of homeownership for people of color. 其中一些活动可以立即采取行动，因为悦博体育为DEI工作制定了长期战略方向。

● In August, we conducted an internal survey among our owners, managers, and staff, to create a benchmark of where we are as a company and help guide the direction that we need to take to advance our DEI initiatives. 代理商调查将于2021年进行。

● We are producing informational content related to CC&Rs to educate homeowners on how to remove racially restrictive language from their title reports in the 10 states where Windermere operates.

● We are working with an advertising agency that specializes in inclusive and future-forward marketing to evaluate our digital marketing products through a DEI lens.

● We have designated funds for a scholarship program that invests in people of color who want to work in real estate, and are designing training and mentoring programs to aid in their success.

● We are building internal DEI training and development programs, starting with franchise owners, managers, and staff, with plans to expand to agents in 2021.

● We are analyzing our hiring processes to ensure broader representation by people of color.

● We’re generating insights from all these efforts to help us develop a set of thematic pillars to guide our DEI goals and strategy over the long term.

● We’re planning on listening sessions this fall for the Windermere community to continue to have input in this process.

悦博体育知道，这只是提高认识和问责的长期旅程的开始。 悦博体育专注并决心尽自己的一份力量来解决温德米尔和房地产行业内的歧视、种族主义和不平等问题。 悦博体育的努力源于这样一种认识，即美国的住房歧视由来已久，住房所有权的不平等加深了种族鸿沟。 悦博体育通过悦博体育的工作，悦博体育希望在寻找纠正这些不平等的方法方面发挥作用。 We realize we were late to this movement and should’ve spoken up sooner, but our eyes are open, and we are committed to leading the way towards positive change from here on out.
