The Vision Council today announces the launch of the 2020 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Survey.

Developed in partnership with Nonprofit HR, one of the leading full-service human resources firms focused exclusively on the nonprofit sector with expertise in DEI consulting, the custom survey is intended to benchmark the vision care leadership landscape in order to help organizations within the industry identify opportunities they have to promote diversity, cultivate talent and improve their performance.

All members are encouraged to support this important initiative by taking the survey and encouraging participation within their organizations.

The confidential survey is open to all members of the vision care products and services industry and will remain open until Monday, November 23.

Members are strongly encouraged to share the survey within their organizations, as participation across all segments of the industry is crucial to gathering the breadth of data required to identify milestones, provide tangible, actionable pathways for our members to access, and, ultimately, effect long-lasting industry change.
