Visit Mesa has completed a comprehensive Diversity, Equity & Inclusion assessment with Tourism Diversity Matters (TDM), an organization committed to addressing the gaps of ethnic disparities within the tourism and events industry while providing industry leaders with resources and tactics to develop more effective diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategies to engage, recruit and retain a diverse workforce.
Please take a few moments to review the final assessment from the survey issued by Tourism Diversity Matters for Visit Mesa's organizational assessment. This report outlines the DEI practices already going well and where opportunities for improvement lie. Visit Mesa will utilize this assessment as we move forward with implementing a long-term DEI strategy.
