“We know that representation matters. This career enrichment summit is intentionally bringing together professionals from Black, Latino and Native American communities and is not only focused on finding a job but also the summit will highlight for job seekers and entrepreneurs alike the power of networking, community and building one another up,” Dowell said. “This ranges from signing onto the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Partnership Pledge to our work with Hispanic servicing institutions and tribal colleges to hosting a career summit that intentionally works to bring together professionals from Black, Latino and Native American communities,” Dowell said. “Represent the Future is a part of our broader company-wide commitment to empower and uplift historically underrepresented communities,” Dowell said. “We know that representation is critical to accomplishing this goal, and those diverse leaders attract and retain diverse talent. To accomplish this, we are setting aggressive goals and are on the path to progress,” Dowell said. “We are focused on increasing representation of Black employees in the US and women in senior tech roles globally because they represent areas where we have some of the farthest to go. We expect that the new mechanisms and strategies we build to achieve these specific goals will increase opportunities for other underrepresented communities across the company.”
