MVCDOSUMMIT.COM WELCOME •••••••• SIGNATURE PARTNERDani Monroe, MSODFOUNDER, MARTHA’S VINEYARD CDO SUMMITPRESIDENT, CENTERFOCUS INTERNATIONAL, INC.This past year has been full of unprecedented challenges for diversity, equity, and inclusion professionals. We have been called upon to navigate uncharted waters, including geopolitical complexities, court rulings, tectonic technological shifts, and escalating assaults on DEI initiatives.Sometimes, the stakes seem unbearably high—not only must we devise solutions for our company’s employees, but we are also expected to be at the vanguard of shaping responses to the uncertainty surrounding America’s democracy and soul. The expansion of our role as described in From the Inside Out, our chief diversity ocer impact study from February 2024, places a business, moral, and social responsibility on our shoulders like no other time in the history.Instead of being overwhelmed by the crushing responsibility, we must use our resilience, resolve, and resourcefulness to navigate these changing times. And we must step back and remember that change is an inherent aspect of the life cycle and evolution of equity. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a straight line to freedom. We must be prepared, whether we are riding the wave of new consciousness that came with the George Floyd era or responding to the current onslaught from conservative activists. It is often in challenging circumstances that we reacquaint ourselves with our life’s purpose and goal.As DEI leaders, we can leverage these challenges to hone our skills. For example, we can consider artificial intelligence a threat to DEI. Or we could accept its inevitability and figure out how it can work in our favor. We can step into the unfamiliar and create new realities by addressing the current state with curiosity and possibility.We can also remind ourselves that we have accomplished so much! When times are daunting, it’s uplifting to look back at all our successes.We will celebrate our victories here, at the Martha’s Vineyard CDO Summit. This year, we build on the themes of the first two, taking what we learned from our speakers to offer new insights and strategies.In our first summit, Leading DEI into the Future: Reflect, Reset, Re-envision, we focused on how we could maintain our sense of balance as we reentered the work environment after the pandemic and work-from-home conditions. At last year’s summit, The Evolving CDO: From Affirmative Action to Belonging, we traced the evolution of DEI over the decades and celebrated our tremendous progress while acknowledging the enormity of the Supreme Court decision eliminating affirmative action admissions in higher education. This year, at The Future Is Now: Are You Prepared? we harness that forward momentum to prepare and support each other in continuing this important journey.The future commences with our readiness to welcome it. The most profound preparation for the future is to be fully present in the NOW, to venture into the unknown, and to bravely embrace change.

 MARTHA’S VINEYARD CHIEF DIVERSITY OFFICER SUMMIT MVCDOSUMMIT.COM IMPACT STORIES •••••••• IMPACT STORIESISTOCKISTOCKThe author Cecily Sommers has said, “We are not in an era of change but experiencing a fundamental change of eras.” This shift is characterized by the convergence of technological advancements, geopolitical events, and demographic changes, all of which will have lasting impacts on society and the workforce.One key aspect is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into various sectors. While AI presents opportunities for growth and innovation, it also calls for all of us to ensure that everyone everywhere can benefit from its potential and positive impact. For example, at Google Research in Ghana, we’re collecting speech data on the thousands of languages spoken in Africa to recognize diversity in speaking and help train our models for things like Google Assistant.As we think about the future of AI in our workplaces, we must also consider that it has the potential to accelerate many of the forces that already exist in our world. To navigate this new era responsibly, we need a two-pronged approach:Upskilling on technology: Much has been written about the need to equip the workforce with the necessary skills to understand and utilize AI effectively as a partner in their work.Upskilling on humanity: We must also work to ensure that no one gets left behind and the opportunities created by this technology are available to everyone. Technology is broadly useful only when it’s broadly accessible and, as chief diversity ocers, we have an important role guiding organizations through this change of eras to reflect the richness of our world. At Google, our mission to make the world’s information universally accessible and useful calls on us to be inclusive. It’s through this partnership between technology and humanity that we can help lead through the coming change of eras and build workplaces, products, and initiatives that serve everyone, everywhere. ●Leading Through a Change of ErasThe correct question is not whether DEI is dead but rather, “How are organizations prepared to use their power to persist in the face of the pressures seeking to roll back DEI progress?” Further, “What are the strategies that can be lawfully employed to continue the advancement of DEI?” DEI eorts have always experienced highs and lows, progress and setbacks. In the face of this new pressure, companies are uniquely positioned to navigate these challenges using their power and influence. Crowell & Moring looks to move forward in these turbulent times with intention and resolve to continue the advancement of DEI. It is essential to our business and fundamental to our culture. We remain focused on the continuing eort to bring more representation into all aspects of the firm, particularly leadership, while maintaining a culture that fosters equity, inclusion, and belonging. We also encourage our clients to advance their DEI initiatives and goals in this precarious moment in history. We advise them to do so in a manner that appropriately considers the evolving legal landscape, their organizational culture and values, and the risk tolerance of their leadership and stakeholders. For many companies, the challenges of rolling back DEI progress and commitments are equal to the opportunities that come with continuing to march forward. We are here to help our clients navigate this minefield and find the right solutions for their organization. ●Resolve to PersistMike Tomlin, two-time-winning Super Bowl coach and oft-cited face of the Rooney Rule, frequently tells his players, “Pressure is forever relevant; either you’re feeling it or applying it.”This quote captures the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Following the murder of George Floyd, there was a surge of support for advancement of DEI. Since then, we have seen active efforts to roll back laws and initiatives that support DEI. Recent high-profile court decisions have left many asking, “Is DEI dead?”But the attack on DEI is not new. During the Reconstruction era following the American Civil War, disenfranchised Black people made significant economic, political, and social progress that Jim Crow laws later stripped away. The women’s suffrage and equality battle has always been tempered by antiquated ideological beliefs and stereotypes. The LGBTQ+ community has overcome forces like McCarthyism, violence, and social ostracism, and efforts to marginalize and undermine this community continue.These historical examples exhibit two things: the pressure against progress and the resolve to persist in the face of that pressure.

We leverage this great event to transform how neurodivergent individuals are perceived and raise awareness across Fidelity. ■ Investing in our office space to promote neuro-inclusive design such as quiet rooms, quiet workspaces, and access to noise-canceling headphones.We have discovered that by designing a workplace that can leverage the talents of our neurodiverse population, everyone thrives. The diversity of our life experiences brings increased innovation, encourages greater productivity, and enhances our teams.While we’re proud of the milestones we’ve reached, we recognize that creating a neuro-inclusive workplace is an ongoing journey. Fidelity is deeply committed to this work as we continue to build for the future. ●The COVID-19 pandemic engendered a new way of operating in the workplace, prompting us to examine where, when, and how we work and how we connect with others. As a result, many leaders leaned into more empathetic and inclusive leadership styles. One group that has benefited from this reimagining of the workplace is the neurodivergent community. With growing awareness and diagnosis of neurodiversity—some estimates suggest that up to 20 percent of the global population is neurodiverse—this vibrant cohort has been able to use its collective voice to advocate for meaningful accommodations in the workplace.Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no single “right” way of thinking, learning, processing information, and behaving. Neurodivergent describes people who have autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and more. As awareness of the needs of the neurodivergent has grown, Fidelity is building a workplace that not only accommodates neurodiversity, but also intentionally creates an environment where neurodivergent employees can thrive. Our neurodivergent associates often bring a unique approach and perspective that provides new or different ideas and challenges us to look at our work in a different way.To best ensure that our neurodivergent employees are supported, we are designing a workplace that prioritizes neuro-inclusion every step of the way. We are also focused on promoting strong allyship across the firm. We embrace an approach of “nothing for us without us” and value the voices of our associates. In 2022, we established our neurodiversity working team. Our neurodivergent associates created and own our neurodiversity strategy, which is focused on creating a sense of community and belonging for our neurodivergent associates.Building an Inclusive Neurodivergent Workplacecommunities of color. Through Access Commitment, we are committed to making measurable change. Initially, our focus was on the Black community, recognizing the persistent economic wealth gap in the United States. In 2023, we expanded our focus to include the Hispanic community in our Access Commitment initiatives.There are four components to Access Commitment: Access Business, Access Capital, Access Home, and Access Wealth. Access Business combines our expertise and that of our external partners to provide small business owners with information, connections, and capital to position them for success.Access Capital encompasses initiatives that support and drive more equitable access to capital to business and organizations led by people of color and address the needs on the ground in the communities where they live, work, and serve.Access Home is a multiyear commitment to focus on closing the homeownership gap, starting first with the Black community, where the disparities are the largest. Access Wealth includes initiatives driven by the bank’s wealth and investment services area, including a mentorship program for diverse employees. Visit usbank.com/access for more information. ●Organizations Must Prioritize Inclusive Growth to ThriveAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, 100 percentof the population growth in this country between 2022 and 2060 will be of diverse groups. At U.S. Bank, all customer growth is coming from diverse segments. We understand the importance of this and have aligned our diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy with inclusive growth, integrating it across all our business lines. The focus now is not just on DEI but on growing inclusively, building communities, and fostering businesses in the most inclusive way possible. We aspire to create marketplaces that are inclusive at scale using innovative approaches and ensuring that everyone is included in the conversation. U.S. Bank Access Commitment® is our long-term initiative designed to help bridge the wealth gap in underserved communities, particularly

With growing awareness and diagnosis of neurodiversity—some estimates suggest that up to 20 percent of the global population is neurodiverse—this vibrant cohort has been able to use its collective voice to advocate for meaningful accommodations in the workplace.Neurodiversity describes the idea that people experience and interact with the world around them in many different ways; there is no single “right” way of thinking, learning, processing information, and behaving. Neurodivergent describes people who have autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and more. As awareness of the needs of the neurodivergent has grown, Fidelity is building a workplace that not only accommodates neurodiversity, but also intentionally creates an environment where neurodivergent employees can thrive. Our neurodivergent associates often bring a unique approach and perspective that provides new or different ideas and challenges us to look at our work in a different way.To best ensure that our neurodivergent employees are supported, we are designing a workplace that prioritizes neuro-inclusion every step of the way. We are also focused on promoting strong allyship across the firm. We embrace an approach of “nothing for us without us” and value the voices of our associates. In 2022, we established our neurodiversity working team. Our neurodivergent associates created and own our neurodiversity strategy, which is focused on creating a sense of community and belonging for our neurodivergent associates.Building an Inclusive Neurodivergent Workplacecommunities of color. Through Access Commitment, we are committed to making measurable change. Initially, our focus was on the Black community, recognizing the persistent economic wealth gap in the United States. In 2023, we expanded our focus to include the Hispanic community in our Access Commitment initiatives.There are four components to Access Commitment: Access Business, Access Capital, Access Home, and Access Wealth. Access Business combines our expertise and that of our external partners to provide small business owners with information, connections, and capital to position them for success.Access Capital encompasses initiatives that support and drive more equitable access to capital to business and organizations led by people of color and address the needs on the ground in the communities where they live, work, and serve.Access Home is a multiyear commitment to focus on closing the homeownership gap, starting first with the Black community, where the disparities are the largest. Access Wealth includes initiatives driven by the bank’s wealth and investment services area, including a mentorship program for diverse employees. Visit usbank.com/access for more information. ●Organizations Must Prioritize Inclusive Growth to ThriveAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, 100 percentof the population growth in this country between 2022 and 2060 will be of diverse groups. At U.S. Bank, all customer growth is coming from diverse segments. We understand the importance of this and have aligned our diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy with inclusive growth, integrating it across all our business lines. The focus now is not just on DEI but on growing inclusively, building communities, and fostering businesses in the most inclusive way possible. We aspire to create marketplaces that are inclusive at scale using innovative approaches and ensuring that everyone is included in the conversation. U.S. Bank Access Commitment® is our long-term initiative designed to help bridge the wealth gap in underserved communities, particularly
