2024 Impact Report
Introduction
As the Founder of Connex, reflecting on our three-year journey fills me with a profound sense of accomplishment and purpose. We’ve not only engaged in deep, honest conversations but have also created a platform where diversity of thought and collective wisdom thrives. This report transcends mere documentation; it narrates our strides in reshaping the affordable housing sector, evidencing our commitment to challenging norms and fostering a bright, inclusive future.
Milestones and Achievements
We have pioneered powerful and challenging discussions like our first roundtable on unconscious bias in executive recruitment, which saw over 100 leaders engage in crucial discussions during challenging times. Our nomination for the UKHA Awards as Professional Services Partner of the Year further underscored our impact. These milestones, along with our growth to 700 members and hosting over 50 roundtables, exemplify our dedication to fostering meaningful change.
"Our commitment extends
beyond reflection; we aim to
set a precedent for what
diverse, equitable, and inclusive leadership should embody."
Our Vision for the Future

Our commitment extends beyond reflection; we aim to set a precedent for what diverse, equitable, and inclusive leadership should embody.
