“Millennium Partners’ Taidgh McClory Recognized for Leadership in Implementing Diversity and Inclusion Strategies in the Commercial Real Estate Industry”

Boston Real Estate Times, 2020

“While the pace of change with regard to diversity, equity and inclusion has been incremental in the commercial real estate business through the years, I am hopeful that we are living through a fundamental shift in the way that individuals, companies and communities address DEI initiatives. Rather than simply viewing DEI efforts as a ‘check-the-box’ initiative that fits nicely into corporate responsibility reports, we are seeing a new wave of leaders and corporations who are defining why this work matters to their companies, creating intentional strategies that place diversity, equity and inclusion at the core of their business strategy.”
