Exhibit 1. Proposed Schedule Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion. in Recruitments MGT is a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consulting services, strategic planning, and organization transformation. MGT's experience working in diverse communities across the United States and working with organizations seeking to change organization culture is critical to the success of all our projects. We have a track record of building awareness, solutions, and direction for systemic change by generating transformative ideas and solutions, information, and practices into operational strategies, which help us stand out in all our projects. MGT is also one of the original and premier disparity research firms in the country. Disparity studies were the first instance of bringing principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion into the public sector, through the procurement process, and since 1990, MGT has conducted more than 230 public sector disparity studies. These studies are designed to improve procurement departments, promote and advance equity, and improve economic outcomes for diverse communities that have been historically marginalized by analyzing policies, practices, and programs to increase the utilization of minority- and women -owned businesses. Clients that have conducted a disparity study are in the unique position to increase and improve systematic equity through procurement and contracting, which can ultimately promote economic empowerment by creating strong business and employment pipelines in communities of color. MGT's GovHR also has a long-standing commitment to DEI. Since the firm's inception they have supported, with their time and financial resources, organizations that advance underrepresented populations in local government. These include the National Forum for Black Public Administrators, the Local Government Hispanic Network, The League of Women in Government, and CivicPride.
