DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Our Workplace Promise: Every Voice Matters. Everybody Belongs.

OUR CHIEF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION OFFICER

At the Dallas Mavericks, we believe an inclusive culture allows our employees to bring their authentic and whole selves to work. We are committed to fostering an environment where diversity, equity, and inclusion are woven into the fabric of the organization. Our core values of Character, Respect, Authenticity, Fairness, Teamwork, and Safety form the foundation of our organization. Living these values has been essential to our brand transformation and has helped us build strong partnerships with other businesses while providing ongoing support to our surrounding communities.

...

Our inclusion strategy efforts are ongoing throughout the organization and in our community as we focus on our key Inclusion Pillars: Customers, Reputation, Agenda for Women, Family (work, home, community), Talent, Suppliers and Sponsors. These pillars drive our efforts both internally and externally, ensuring that our initiatives are intentional, sustainable, and aligned with the organization’s goals.

We invite you to join us on our journey to listen, learn, and unite our communities.

We are your Dallas Mavericks, where every voice matters and everybody belongs.
