ONTARIO, CA (April 28, 2021) — Humanidei + O’Rourke, a human capital strategies firm serving the credit union industry, is proud to announce that Carl Clark will join the company as Senior Consultant: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

“Carl Clark brings a strong understanding of how to make meaningful connections.

I am thrilled our clients will have the opportunity to benefit from Carl’s expertise.

Clark joins Humanidei + O’Rourke after almost 13 years with Local Government Federal Credit Union (North Carolina): A credit union known for its leader’s commitment to adding Diversity and Inclusion as credit unions’ 8th Cooperative Principle.

This includes recruiting diverse candidate pools as well as creating large-scale DEI strategies that lead to organization-wide change management, evaluating and coaching on areas like career path and performance management programs that lead to internal equity; building DEI Advisory Groups or Employee Resource Groups that support inclusion; evaluating products, programs, and systems that create equity; and conducting training and research to improve employee experience.
