As a Certified Minority Business Enterprise, Keene Advisory Group embraces diversity as an integral part of our search process. We are dedicated to working with our clients to identify and attract talented women and people of color who are often underrepresented at the senior management and board levels.
All searches, but particularly searches with a diversity focus, require deep access to relevant information sources. Therefore, we continuously review publications and periodicals both in print and on-line such as Microquest, Career Focus, DiversityInc.com, Latina Style Business, Black Enterprise, Hispanic Business and Ebony to stay up-to-date on diversity issues.
Strong ties to executive advocacy organizations provide immediate access to key influencers. Our relationships include contacts at National Eagle Leadership Institute, New America Alliance, InterOrganization Network, Chicago United, Executive Leadership Counsel, Hispanic Alliance for Corporate Responsibility, Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, and Catalyst.
Networking through affinity relationships also broaden our ability and reach. We are connected to niche communities through our relationships with National Black MBA Association, National Society of Hispanic MBA’s, National Association of Asian American Professionals, National Association of Black Accountants, Association of Latinos in Finance and Accounting, Latinos in Information Systems and Technology Association, Black Data Possessing Associates and many others.
Strategic partnerships allow us to further broaden our reach. Our partners include diversified human capital firms in staffing, executive coaching, outplacement and organization development. For example, Potomac Associates Inc., a new partner headquartered in Tokyo, provides direct insight to Japanese and Asia/Pacific talent.
