Diversity Committee

Since its formation in 2002, Plunkett Cooney’s Diversity Committee has met monthly to address issues pertinent to the recruiting, hiring and retaining employees. Meetings follow a formal agenda and regular reports are issued to the firm’s management team and Board of Directors.
