Diversity Spectrum Corporation, a minority-, woman-, and veteran-owned business, is the number one resource for global diversity news, information, and intelligence.  Headquartered in Washington, DC, Diversity Spectrum was established in 2006 by its co-founders CEO Thomas A. Duckenfield and President Lynn Gardner Heffron.

A management consulting firm, Diversity Spectrum is composed of a consortium of professionals from several disciplines that assist Fortune 500 companies, business associations, federal and local governments, as well as numerous women- and minority-owned businesses in the areas of supplier diversity and WMBE certification; workforce diversity & inclusion; federal government contracts, grants, and certifications (8(a), HubZone, GSA Schedule), federal government relations, international trade, and new market initiatives. 

A value-added facet of representation includes access to minority, female, and GLBT appointed and elected officials, business leaders, and community leaders.  The consultancy also includes advising foreign governments, organizations, and businesses.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach to meeting our clients’ needs, the members of our consortium include professionals from several disciplines, such as attorneys, economists, public policy experts, accountants, management consultants, health professionals, clergy and celebrities, who are highly skilled in the areas necessary to meet our clients’ needs. 

For example, specialists on legislation and international trade matters add significantly to our capacity and are key to the development of strategy and policy recommendations given their unique and specialized training, experience, and access. These skill sets become increasingly important in the execution of a diversity strategy.  In addition, diversity in background is an objective strongly sought in the make-up of the staffing of our teams.

Diversity Spectrum professionals have worked closely with CEOs and other high level corporate executives in assisting their corporations to develop, enhance and implement a wide range of diversity programs addressing suplier diversity, business partnering, executive management, workforce diversity, Strategic alliances, economic outreach, government & community relations, and philanthropic efforts.

We have counseled and assisted a number of Fortune 500 companies in developing diversity action plans tailored to the specific needs of each client. In doing so, we have both defused highly publicized disputes, as well as prepared confidential diversity compliance reviews.

The Company also consists of several multi-media properties ( eNewsletter , Web Magazine , netTV & netRadio ) that seek to enhance the knowledge base and efficacy of diversity professionals, as well as inform the public about diverse populations and diversity issues worldwide. Diversity Spectrum provides the diversity industry the tools to make more informed and better decisions impacting all stakeholders.

Gathering global data across corporate, government, academic, and non-government organization sources, Diversity Spectrum publishes, webcasts, and podcasts original and aggregated news and information to the public. We offer tailored advisory and consulting services on cutting edge national and global diversity management practices.
