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

A consortium of professionals spanning a spectrum of disciplines, Diversity Spectrum advises foreign and domestic companies, government agencies, NGOs,  and women- and minority-owned businesses in the areas of global business strategy; corporate social responsibility; international trade & development; multi-cultural marketing; supplier & workforce diversity; government contracts & grants; external communications;  and public policy strategy. 

Taking a multidisciplinary approach to meeting our clients’ needs, our consortium includes economists, public policy experts, management consultants, journalists,  business executives, merchant-venturers, diplomats, attorneys, health professionals, accountants, clergy, artists, and athletes who are highly skilled in the areas necessary to meet our clients’ needs. 

For example, specialists in development and trade matters add significantly to our capacity and are key to the crafting 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 global 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 directly with CEOs and other high level corporate executives in assisting their corporations to develop, enhance and implement a wide range of programs addressing sustainability, supplier diversity, business partnering, workforce diversity, strategic alliances, economic outreach, government & community relations, and philanthropic efforts.  

A value-added facet of representation includes extensive access to minority, female, and GLBT appointed and elected officials, business leaders, and community leaders.

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 and vulnerability assessments.

Diversity Spectrum also operates several multi-media properties ( eNewsletter , Web Magazine , netTV & netRadio ) that produce content to enhance the knowledge base and efficacy of diversity & inclusion professionals, as well as inform the public about diverse populations and multicultural issues worldwide.

Gathering global data across corporate, government, academic, and NGO sources, Diversity Spectrum publishes, webcasts, and podcasts original and aggregated news and information.  Diversity Spectrum provides the intelligence and  tools for all stakeholders to make more informed and better decisions.

For subscribing annual members of the Diversity Spectrum Think Tank , we offer:  customized eNewsletters; participation in the Executive Diversity Council , Virtual Socratic Forum , Continuing Diversity Education & Certification , On-Demand Lecture Hall , and Library & Knowledge Center .

In addition, Think Tank members receive invitations to participate in our international trade missions;  exclusive events at the World Bank, United Nations, foreign embassies, US Congress, and federal agencies; exclusive access to select white papers, case studies, and other publications in the Diversity Toolkit ; and, up-to-date legal compliance advisories.

In delivering diversity news, information, and intelligence, our vision is global, not parochial.
