Diversity Council Mission Statement
Carisk Partners will be leaders by continuing to embrace the differences of its team members
to expand its competitive edge; while promoting a diverse and inclusive environment
through our commitment to education both internally and externally.
We will leverage our unique capacity as change agents to strengthen our relationships with
our Carisk team members, and with the communities and business partners we all serve.
Carisk Partners is proud of the diversity of its company’s employees, regardless of genetic information,
race, color, religion, age, sex, range of abilities, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,
marital status, national origin, or veterans status.
We will strive to do well by doing good.
“I have always loved meeting new people from different backgrounds. It was always intriguing
to me to hear someone else’s “story”. It is my strong belief that people and organizations make
better decisions when they have diversity of thoughts. Each of us bring our life experiences.”
