The Social Equity Task Force

In 2020, Gary Keller, executive chairman and co-founder of Keller Williams, created the social equity task force to come forward with recommendations for action to eliminate any racial disparity within our company, our industry, and to lead the way in the communities where we live and work.

Each region nominated a social equity ambassador to serve on the task force and each market center appointed an ALC member to serve as the social equity committee chair. After months of self-examination, curiosity, and conversation, Keller Williams leadership acknowledged that we cannot be the company we claim to be unless our core culture demands that we actively and uncompromisingly run inclusive, diverse, and equitable businesses.

In September 2020, the Keller Williams International Associate Leadership Council (IALC), which assures that Keller Williams continues to operate as a “By Agents, For Agents” organization through the continuous involvement of associates and leaders, voted unanimously to amend KW’s Belief System (WI4C2TES) to include “Equity: opportunities for all.” 

The social equity task force continues its commitment to education and training, creating community partnerships, increasing leadership opportunities, and building wealth in Black and historically marginalized communities.
