Committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace, Chris Peters, Burnett Specialists’ Senior Account Executive for The Woodlands office, was honored with Texas Diversity Council’s, “DiversityFIRST™ Leadership Award,” last week.

This honor is awarded annually to individuals who demonstrate “outstanding accomplishments in the promotion and advancement of diversity through inclusion and strong leadership. Earning this award is evidence of the individual’s level of commitment to effectively valuing and managing diversity to achieve excellence, and make a positive difference in their organizations and communities.” – Texas Diversity Council

“The TXDC mission is to enhance appreciation and the understanding of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. I work with companies across many different industries and employees on every skill level. When organizations become more successful, their focus turns inward, and the culture within the organization quickly becomes a top priority. Our goal within the council is to educate organizations on similarities and differences among employees regarding age, cultural background, physical abilities and disabilities, race, religion, sex, and sexual orientation. By partnering with companies and championing these issues through an inclusive and nurturing environment, businesses usually see a drastic change in their employee relations, retention, and overall output.”
– Chris Peters, Award Recipient & Burnett Specialists Account Executive

Chris Peters has been a member of the Burnett team since January 2015.

“It gives me great pride to see Chris’ efforts recognized. He does an incredible job keeping diversity and inclusion at the forefront. We appreciate his continued work and dedication!”
