Vertafore is a 2022 recipient of the Denver Business Journal's
inaugural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Awards. The first program of its kind from the Denver Business Journal, the DEI Awards honors organizations in metro
Denver that are strengthening equality across all areas of diversity, including age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and religion.
The award recognizes Vertafore's promotion of authentic equity and inclusion through initiatives like:
- Voices for Change, a series of fireside chats for Vertafore employees with prominent business leaders discussing issues of race, social justice, and diversity and inclusion
- Vertafore's Employee Resource Groups, which nurture inclusion, collaboration and support for the company's diverse employee communities
- Vertafore's long-standing collaboration with InternX, sponsoring STEM summer internships for students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds
"As a leading technology company, we have a responsibility to create a diverse and inclusive environment where employees can bring their whole, true selves to work every day,"
said Amy Zupon, CEO of Vertafore. "Embracing equity across all areas of diversity is engrained in who we are, and we will continue to work every day to foster that core belief."
