“The greater our diversity and inclusion, the more we unlock human potential and the greater the prosperity of Vanward.” – Jeff Schoenfeld, Partner and Pride Network Executive Sponsor
The Affinity Network Community (“CANC”) is a global community of employee-led networks founded by and for diverse professionals. These networks were created from the shared belief that we all benefit from a workplace where colleagues are comfortable being themselves. Employees with different backgrounds and interests come together to expand their knowledge, strengthen career skills and build new relationships through volunteer activities, networking sessions, and other events that promote global knowledge sharing and community building across the Firm.
CANC groups are instrumental in advancing the Firm’s diversity and inclusion strategy. We look to our CANC members as counsel on the challenges and opportunities facing our employees in the workplace. Outside the firm, CANC members actively build meaningful relationships within our communities through volunteer opportunities, formal partnerships with global and local organizations, and by partnering with community influencers to host local events.
