Committed to a Culture of C.A.R.E
To actively work to ensure that every employee, from the CEO to the laborer,
feels valued, respected, and heard.

The Diversity and Culture of Care Committee (DC3):
A diverse group of contractors dedicated to enhancing worker wellness, seeking solutions to workforce challenges, and offering networking opportunities for diversity and inclusion across our industry. Working together they create space for shared resources and conversations to help build cultures of care within large and small businesses.
In addition to the DC3 Committee, members are invited to engage in the following subcommittees.
• Small Business Advocacy Group
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Taskforce
• Mental Health Working Group
• Make the Connection Program
