It's International Pronouns Day!! Very proud of the work #OCPride have done over the past year to generate awareness and action regarding the use of pronouns, and why they are so important for the LGBTQ+ community. Top Tips: ✔ Update your email signature block, and LinkedIn details to display your pronouns ✔ Introduce yourself by including your pronouns after your name, when speaking to somebody for the first time ✔ If you're unsure of somebody's pronouns, just ask. And if referring to them, but they're not around for you to ask, use 'they' Remember, you may think your pronouns may be obvious, but this is not the case for everyone. Pronouns create a space where people are encouraged and safe to share their true identity. The world could use a few more safe spaces. #LGBTQ #Pronouns #Inclusion

Arbor’s Director of Construction Management, Tres Seippel, MAI, MRICS, attended the roundtable and said that firms don’t necessarily have to make big and flashy efforts to support LGBTQ+ colleagues; being authentic in their support, such as encouraging employees to include pronouns in their email signatures to show gender identity preferences and underwriting social issues into loans, goes a long way.
