SEC Reflects 50 Years After Stonewall, Celebrates LGBT Pride Month

The Securities and Exchange Commission last week concluded its month of special events in honor of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month and renewed the agency’s commitment to workplace diversity and inclusion. Throughout the month of June, SEC staff held various events and activities to promote fellowship among coworkers while also noting the LGBT civil rights movement’s accomplishments and ongoing work. Highlights included a discussion with Stacey Friedman, General Counsel for JPMorgan Chase & Co., who talked about diversity and inclusion in the workplace at an event co-sponsored by the SEC’s LGBT Committee, as well as the Diversity Committee of the SEC’s New York Regional Office.
