Who we are
• As a values-based organization, Audacy’s mission is to serve our communities and create positive change.
• Audacy Sacramento’s mission is to be a trusted resource and partner to our community, audiences, and advertisers. Internally, we strive to build and experience a culture of teamwork, innovation, and excellence. Recently, it has become apparent that we must do more, specifically in the areas of social justice and diversity.
• We have all watched our country transform over the last few months. As our nation’s landscape grows and changes, we have made it a priority to ensure Audacy’s actions and impact match this mission.
Our Values in Action
• We have taken important steps, such as increasing the number of female leaders across our markets, and establishing a formal Corporate Governance diversity statement.
• We stand with 900+ businesses in joining the pledge for CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion
• We are launching Diversity, Equity & Inclusion as a social impact pillar within Audacy Serves, our company’s social impact brand.
• We created the DEI Task Force to translate our values into a proactive and focused effort in key areas of our business specifically to advance our DEI priorities:
o Build a more diverse organization
o Strengthen our culture of inclusion and respect

Looking Ahead
• We encourage members of our Audacy team to share their thoughts and critiques, in addition to the Voices inbox, many of our local teams are conducting town halls, lunch & learns and more to ensure everyone’s voices are heard.
• This is an important opportunity for all members of the Audacy community, our leadership, our employees, and our listeners to come together and listen, learn, reflect and grow.
• We know that growth and progress sometimes require us to have difficult conversations to make necessary changes – we are choosing to work toward progress. Just as we step into the growth and transformation of our business, we will grow beyond our comfort zone to achieve our aspirations - for our team and our country.
• Our hope is that this DEI Task Force and its initiatives shape a company in which everyone feels heard, respected and valued – key signposts of our strong culture of belonging.
