I am inspired by NACVA’s commitment to diversity, growing best practices in the industry, and adding value to the certifications. In a world were racial and socioeconomic disparities limit opportunities for communities of color, it is refreshing to see a business and finance driven organization show (not just speak about) strides toward belonging and inclusion.”
