Diversity & Inclusion

The Jupiter Research Diversity & Inclusion Task Force was formed with a common mission, to develop initiatives that establish and maintain an accessible, dynamic, and inclusive organization for employees, customers, and partners of all races, cultures, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, abilities, sexual orientations, and gender expressions. Our growing Task Force meets bimonthly to discuss the progress of our initiatives, to educate ourselves and set standards for our industry.
