Thompson Named to GCP Equity & Inclusion Advisory Board

Adrian D. Thompson, Taft’s chief diversity officer and Cleveland office co-partner-in-charge, has been named to the advisory board of the Greater Cleveland Partnership (GCP) Equity & Inclusion division.

The GCP’s Equity & Inclusion division works to close racial disparities in jobs, income, and wealth, by growing businesses owned by people of color and increasing workforce inclusion. This work is fueled by the belief that businesses and the region are stronger with greater racial equity. The division works as a convener, an advocate, and a resource to engage the region’s employers to address the systemic racial inequalities which hinder economic growth. Hundreds of professionals, top leaders, volunteers, businesses, and community organizations engage with GCP each year to accomplish these goals.

Thompson’s passion, skills, experience, and expertise is recognized by the GCP as qualities that can help advance the Equity & Inclusion division’s strategies. The responsibilities of advisory board members include attending quarterly meetings; joining one of two committees; attending GCP Equity & Inclusion events; and advocating for GCP work within the greater Northeast Ohio region.
