VIDEO: NMHC Framework on Racial Equity is “An Imperative to Act”

“The industry framework for racial equity and inclusion really represents an imperative to act.” That’s Betsy Feigin Befus, SVP, general counsel and strategic initiatives for the National Multifamily Housing Council, speaking on NMHC’s recently introduced framework to advance economic inclusion for commercial real estate professionals of color. 

Interviewed at NMHC’s recent Annual Conference in San Diego, Befus explained that the framework stands on three pillars, which were developed in partnership with the Real Estate Executive Council. They include supplier diversity, access to capital and credit, and the talent ecosystem. 

In the video above, you’ll also hear from Befus about how diversity, equity and inclusion has been a longstanding commitment for NMHC, as well as the council’s reasons for offering complimentary membership to gender-diverse and minority-owned firms.
