Diversity + Inclusion
LS3P’s Diversity + Inclusion (D+I) Advisory Group was founded in the spring of 2020. At this inflection point in our history, we have the opportunity and responsibility to enact meaningful change which embodies LS3P’s Vision, Values, and Mission. This Strategic Plan creates a framework to engage our teams and our communities in intentional ways to advance diversity, inclusion, and equity in the firm and in the profession of architecture. In alignment with LS3P’s Evolution 25 Strategic Plan, the D+I Strategic Plan is organized according to five major focus areas:
To enhance Evolution25 by focusing on collaboration to leverage the best in everyone and give each team member a sense of ownership in the process.
To establish an external platform for advocacy that brings awareness to the needs of the members of the communities we serve and inhabit.
To become nationally recognized design leaders and award winners with a commitment to a collaborative design process.
To strengthen our influence in the Southeast and become regionally and nationally recognized as industry leaders in D+I.
To generate new ways of distinct and diversified thought, design, and management within our organization.
