From developing strategic D&I communications to integrating D&I into our philanthropic efforts, Dawnita has been instrumental in shifting the way we think about D&I, specifically by engaging in those bold conversations we need to have. Oftentimes, uncomfortable conversations are the most important, and I am eager to see how Dawnita continues to move JBG SMITH forward on this journey. For D&I efforts to be effective, the commitment and tone must come from the top, clear goals and measures must be established, and most importantly, people must be held accountable, said Ms. Wilson. While weve made some great progress, there is still more work to be done. I am confident that the leaders and employees of JBG SMITH are excited, committed, and ready to position us as a leader and best practice organization in the real estate industry and beyond.
