Chief Arthur Jemison: BPDA’s DEI Policy – What It Is and What It Means for Development

Description

In August of 2022, the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) instituted a new policy designed to promote diversity within large private development projects in the City of Boston. How does this policy translate into the private sector’s practices? Join NAIOP on May 4 for a webinar with the City of Boston’s Chief of Planning and BPDA Director, Arthur Jemison, as he overviews the policy’s goals, and shares examples of what’s worked – and what hasn’t – in the policy’s first year. Then, in a Q&A moderated by NAIOP CEO Tamara Small, attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions and learn more about how the Agency and Development community can work together to advance our shared goals of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
