RSM’s leadership for culture, diversity and inclusion

RSM devotes a full-time team exclusively to our culture, diversity and inclusion (CDI) efforts. Our national leader of CDI, Richard J. Caturano, is an RSM partner and on the national leadership team. He is a founding member of the National Commission on Diversity and Inclusion at the AICPA and currently serves as chair of the Commission.

Tracey Walker co-leads our CDI program, and drives inclusion efforts with RSM employees, clients and communities. She serves as chair of the Northern Virginia Urban League Board of Directors and is on the Historically Black College and Universities Council, devoting time to her passion for the advancement of youth through education. She is also a Cornell University Certified Diversity Advanced Practitioner.

In addition, thousands of RSM professionals devote time to internal workforce and workplace initiatives (including participation in our 12 employee network groups), as well as marketplace and community programs, such as diverse organization partnership, corporate citizenship, supplier diversity and diverse subcontracting.

In 2019, RSM joined nearly 180 other companies in signing the Business Statement for Transgender Equality.
