BNIMers Reflect on Leadership Beyond Design

Advocacy, community involvement, and thought leadership have shaped our practice for the better. We are a firm of design practitioners as well as community members, committed to inspiring change and enhancing the human condition. When our team members share their experiences from policy meetings, serving as board members, or volunteering, it opens up new perspectives and discussions of the challenges facing our communities and how we can create the most effective design solutions. 

We connected with four BNIMers this month to talk about the inspiring ways they are helping shape design through growing and supporting a diverse design community, advocating for collective climate action, creating supportive neighborhood facilities, and contributing to community leadership. Check out our Q + A session at the link below!

BNIM, alongside 11 CEOs from local Kansas City Corporations, has taken the pledge to join the first cohort of the CEO-to-CEO Challenge, a campaign that encourages and empowers B2B inclusive purchasing via company leaders while also helping those leaders develop long-term supplier diversity initiatives.
We understand that to contribute to a more equitable community, we must find ways to support small businesses and be intentional in all aspects of our business. Our responsibility not only includes an effort to diversify our partners and suppliers, but to examine and strategize how to expand our network, knowledge, and collaborations. One of the key steps we are taking to diversify our partnerships is asking businesses to fill out our BNIM Partner Diversity form.  M O R E
