At Mesirow, we honor the contributions and influence of Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) employees, and the broad AAPI community, this Heritage Month.

Every day, Mesirow professionals from East Asian, South/Southeast Asian, and Pacific Islander backgrounds enhance our ability to serve clients, enrich our culture, and advance the work of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Council. We recognize that our relevance depends on a workplace that prizes diverse thought and experience.

Mesirow’s DEI Council continues to implement best practices in DEI, including unconscious bias training for all employees and ongoing strategic partnerships with organizations driving positive change in financial services and the broader corporate and community landscape.

This May, as always, we reaffirm our commitment to conversing, learning and building practical skills as we advance toward “conscious inclusion” and work together as colleagues, with our clients, and in our communities.
