Leadership Support for Diversity & Inclusion

In 2020, Gary Wallace, Managing Partner, joined CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion within the workplace.

By joining this pledge, we continue the Firm’s commitment to diversity and inclusion. CEO Action also provides a place for companies to share effective programs and measurement practices – which allows Keiter to not only track our own progress, but also gain access to programs that are working at other similar companies across the nation. Through the sharing and learning with each other, we can strengthen our existing programs and commitments to better serve our employees and society.

Building connections with our vibrant community

At Keiter, our team volunteers time and resources to help build a stronger community. We are actively involved in numerous professional and civic organizations around central Virginia.

When you ask the majority of our team what they like most about working here, the answer you will receive is “the people”. We are a collaborative team that have a strong bond both professionally and personally. At Keiter we connect over the work we do, and we bond over fun activities- at the office and around the city.

Some of these activities include:

KEITER COMMUNITY DAY
Busy season meals and stress relief activities
Firm sponsored recreational sports teams
Department outings and events
Firm-wide celebrations
Charitable event activities
Professional networking events

“Our community deserves our effort and our team feels the rewards from such support. At Keiter, we keep our clients and community top of mind as we conduct our business and volunteer our time.” — Gary Wallace, Managing Partner

“We really want our people to spend time in the community, give back, volunteer and participate in events so that we are part of the community. It’s really who Keiter is. It’s in our fabric.”
