DEI Symposium
Inspiring our employees to take action and holding ourselves accountable to further our culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Changing the game
In 2020, Flagstar virtually hosted its second annual DEI symposium, “Game Changer.” The symposium challenged all employees to actively participate in fostering an inclusive, equitable workplace.
Flagstar CEO Sandro DiNello kicked off the symposium with opening remarks explaining why 2020 had been such a game-changing year. Our DEI director, Mary Mbyia, moderated a “Flagstar in Action” segment, which gave employees the opportunity to share how they were taking action and furthering DEI efforts in their respective roles at Flagstar, their households, and communities. In addition, our DEI Pillar leaders presented our DEI Dashboard, showing progress and opportunities that exist within each of the pillars.
The symposium also featured four keynote speakers, who shared their expertise on topics related to equity and inclusion, including:
- “Allyship” - Dr. Stephanie J. Creary, identity and diversity scholar and professor, Wharton School of Management
- “Unleashing Your Full Potential” - Josh Schneider, author, thought leader, and founder, Human Engagement Institute
- “Nielsen Report on the Hispanic Community” - Stacie de Armas, SVP on diverse consumer insights and initiatives, Nielsen
- “Resilience” - Charmaine Brown, director of diversity and inclusion, Mortgage Bankers Association
