I work at Basecamp and I co-spearheaded the DEI Council formation. I’ve seen people ask what the DEI Council did to warrant such a response. The answer is _nothing_. We formed in February and we’re still getting ourselves organized.
But now we have two weeks to wind down and pass our work to the Head of People Ops, my boss. There is no work. We are supposed to have a steering committee meeting Friday.
And the reason we have a steering committee is because 21 of our roughly 58 employees joined the council. About one third.
That Friday meeting would be the first official meeting of anyone on the council. We’ve literally just formed a structure and identified areas of work.
