In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act overhauled financial regulation in the aftermath of the Great Recession. In 2012, Inclusion was introduced and endorsed for the first time in the 100-year history of the Federal Reserve system. Since then, the Fed has been committed to increasing DEI within the financial services industry.
