A dedication to inclusion and a true sense of belonging

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.

A commitment to building community inside and outside the office

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.

In the office, we connect over the work we do and develop friendships through fun activities at work and around the city.

In our city and neighborhoods, our Firm and team members support professional and civic organizations as leaders, volunteers, and donors.

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

“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.”
