MMC is proud to partner with organizations that support our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We also encourage our companies' individual support of external organizations that align with their specific business objectives and colleagues' interests.

 

YWCA-NYC Salute to Women Leaders
MMC has supported the YWCA-NYC Academy of Women Leaders Salute Luncheon for more than 25 years. We have inducted more than 50 of our female colleagues into the ranks of the YW's Academy of Women Leaders, a distinguished network of over 3,000 accomplished women professionals.

MMC's VP of Diversity and Inclusion has served as co-chair of this event, and MMC is also the exclusive sponsor of Salute's by-invitation-only VIP reception. A number of MMC's Salute alumnae also volunteer their time for the YW.
