What We're Doing
RAINBOW CONNECTION SERIES
The Rainbow Connection series is an hour for discussion, education, and allyship on LGBTQ+ topics. The sessions are virtual events, held monthly, open to all employees to attend, and safe spaces to build community and ask difficult questions.
RESOURCES FOR THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
LGBTQ+ provides resources and support for the Gannett Fleming LGBTQ+ community through its dedicated SharePoint site. Resources include helpful guides, links to policies and procedures, FAQs, and contact details for key human resources staff.
PARTNERING WITH GANNETT FLEMING’S HUMAN RESOURCES, IT SERVICES, AND LEGAL DEPARTMENTS

21-DAY RACIAL EQUITY & SOCIAL JUSTICE CHALLENGE AND RACE AGAINST RACISM
LGBTQ+ sponsored Gannett Fleming’s participation in the YWCA’S 21-Day Racial Equity & Social Justice Challenge and Race Against Racism.
