CAMBER DRIVING CHANGE IN WORKSPACES
Posted On January 18, 2024Dear Camber Community,
As we reflect on the past year, it’s with a sense of pride and optimism that I write to you today. Despite economic challenges and significant shifts, Camber Outdoors has stood steadfast in its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our journey this year has been remarkable, marked by victories and a reinforced hope for a brighter future in workplaces.
The heart of our efforts has been the Camber Survey System, a tool rooted in transparency and data-driven decision-making. Providing deep insights into the DEI landscape of the outdoor industry, this system has been a catalyst for change, recognized by the American Evaluation Association with a feature in the New Directions for Evaluation publication in 2024.
