The partnership provides DAA signatories, which include Fortune 500 Corporate Communication departments, PR agencies and more, with an exclusive platform pricing package that includes Aerodei's expert services. Aerodei's technology is positioned to support DAA signatories with #DigDeep membership requirements of submitting data and sharing progress across three accountability pillars - Inclusion, Investment, and Insights.

"We are so thrilled to offer our signatories an additional resource to support their representation and retention efforts through our collaboration with Aerodei," said Carmella, president of the DAA. "The platform's measurement capabilities will enable communications teams to go beyond the ask of our #DigDeep Commitment and accelerate us toward our shared goal of a more diverse communications field."

Aerodei CEO Netta Jenkins shares that the platform was developed to tackle key organizational challenges cited over her career in DEI leadership and consulting. As a result, Aerodei is positioned to:

Quantify L&D impact and maximize results from DEI training
Measure inclusion impact and boost retention by actively engaging employees
Track non-traditional intersectional data to improve internal and external communication

"Achieving DEI within organizations requires us to abandon ineffective actions. Considering the ethical guidelines followed by communicators and their significant role in shaping corporate DEI narratives around advancements, it is evident that DAA signatories hold a vital position in advocating for the measurement of inclusion impact," said Netta Jenkins, CEO, Aerodei.

Aerodei and the DAA will host a virtual signatory reception on Thursday, November 9, 2023 from 3 to 4 p.m. ET. This event will acknowledge dedicated leaders, delve into DEI digital transformation, present a case study from DAA signatory Cision, and conclude with a live demonstration.
