Over the last few years, NEI has worked to grow and strengthen their Diversity and Compliance Department. “At NEI, we believe strongly that our job is more than just to put a project in place. We have a responsibility to contribute positively to the surrounding neighborhoods and community that the project will become a part of,” says Carol Fuller, NEI Director of Diversity and Compliance.
