I haven't seen any big moves from DEI since I started here 2 years ago. I hope this means their making quiet institutional changes that will be felt over time...do I think this is the likely case? Not so much. Interested to hear what initiatives other places have had.

I'm lucky to work in a majority black firm, so for better or worse we really don't put much effort into DEI. I'm sure we could be doing better and that not looking more closely at this aspect is holding us back, but honestly we're busy enough as it is so it's a backburner topic for the time being.

Hey small agency friends with kids! Quick question. Our agency’s family health care is expensive (ranges from $1700/mon with normal deductible to $1100/mon with super high deductible). If anyone out there (at a small NYC agency) has a better plan and is comfortable sharing, would you mind telling me who your company uses? My kids’ college funds thank you!
