Championing Diversity: Celebrating Black History Month at Attain Partners
Black History Month is a time to focus attention on and highlight the achievements, culture, contributions, and rich history of African Americans who have shaped not only our country but our world.
At Attain Partners, our commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA) extends beyond acknowledgment. It is embedded in The Attain Way—the core values that guide us. We are proud to champion an inclusive culture where differences are celebrated, and where the richness of diverse backgrounds propels us toward success.
This month, Attain Partners’ People of Color Employee Resource Group (ERG) led an engaging and informative company-wide Black history trivia event to honor, highlight, and celebrate the remarkable legacy of Black history. The questions covered everything from influential figures and historical milestones to art, music, literature, and culture.
Attain Partners acknowledges the significance of this month, recognizing it as an opportunity to honor the unique experiences and viewpoints of our team members and celebrate the contributions of Black leaders within our organization.

Representation is essential in the workplace—we can only learn and benefit from others’ experiences if we’re all at the table. I strive to deliver excellence by having a commitment to thoroughness and fairness in all the work that I do, always placing myself in someone else’s shoes, and knowing the value of sharing the truth. I hope to leave a legacy of joy, empathy, and most of all, laughter.

There’s no “I” in “team,” but there’s a “me” in it. So, I strive to Be the Best “me” everyday, not only for my team but for the entire human race! I love attending conferences and being face-to-face with our clients. I’m proud to be a person of color and to represent the Attain Partners family.

Black History Month is a time for reflection and celebration of the profound contributions and resilience of the Black community throughout history. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of experiences that shape our world.
I take immense pride in spearheading our Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA) Program, a testament to our commitment to fostering a workplace that values every individual. Witnessing the growth in employee engagement and the establishment of Employee Resource Groups has been incredibly rewarding. It truly reflects our collective dedication to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered.
Embracing diversity is not just a box to check, it’s truly an opportunity for personal and professional enrichment. “Our diversity is our greatest asset.” By keeping this type of mindset, we co-create a more vibrant workplace while elevating the caliber of our collective work. The unique perspectives and experiences that each team member brings fosters creativity and enriches our problem-solving approach. By embracing diversity, we unlock a wealth of ideas that ultimately elevate the solutions we provide to our clients, making them more robust and reflective of the diverse world we serve.
Our core value to Invent the Future is especially relevant in championing our DEIB efforts—by inventing a future that is inclusive, diverse, and equitable, we not only strengthen our future workplace but also make a positive impact on the communities we serve.
Brooke Williams
Analyst and People of Color ERG Led
I am honored to help lead the charge in creating a safe space for the People of Color at Attain Partners because I believe that every person deserves representation and a community of individuals that they can confide in and lean on when they need support. Leading the People of Color ERG is incredibly important to me; it is not an opportunity that I take lightly. As a young, emerging professional of color, it is imperative to me to be a part of a company that honors, respects, and makes room for the experiences and truths of their employees of color.
