DIVERSITY REPORT
CURE believes that best in class research can develop talent, empower leaders and reshape firms. We believe a more diverse industry will build more value for companies and build amore requitable and just society.
The mission of the Diversity Report is to draw from research on D&I and offer actionable and concrete steps for CRE industry leaders to implement organizational change, develop diversity pipelines, and redirect capital. The report will include primary data research, literature review and qualitative case studies.
For more than 30 years, the Council of Urban Real Estate has championed the growth of diversity in the real estate profession. We have been tireless advocates for our constituents, while providing several high-impact programs, events and socials to build connections, opportunities, and expertise as we position those we serve for leadership roles and success in the real estate industry.
