Today, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy as a civil rights activist. He raised our country's consciousness on becoming a more racially just society, and his teachings focused on justice, struggle, love, and peaceful resistance. Our country, and indeed the world, is a better place because of Dr. King's work. Over the past several months, our CEO Robert Scaer, P.E., and board of directors have taken the time to reflect and fully understand that words are not enough. Commitment and action are needed, and Gannett Fleming is committed to making investments to improve connection and contribute in ways that have a lasting impact on our communities. Internally, we will continue to build awareness and educate on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Read more about diversity and inclusion at Gannett Fleming: https://www.gannettfleming.com/inclusion
