Assistant Vice President of Corporate Diversity, Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Enterprise Rent-A-Car has established itself as the premier rental car
provider for communities throughout the country. With Enterprise having
6,700 branch locations worldwide, it’s imperative that the corporation
operates with diversity being a focal point. As the assistant vice
president of corporate diversity, Chris Tabourne has played a pivotal
role in enhancing Enterprise’s community presence. Responsible for
developing, implementing and measuring Enterprise’s diversity
initiatives, Tabourne’s impact within the company is evident through
its leverage in diversity and competitive edge. One stride he has made
is continuing to build upon the brand’s relationship with
service-driven organizations like the National Urban League.
“We’ve been a longtime partner with the National Urban League,” he
explains. “The National Urban League has an outstanding reputation and
a longstanding history of helping to build our communities.”
With programs such as the Black Executive Exchange, the National Urban
League helps Enterprise recruit top tier talent from black colleges and
universities.
“We see that as a way for us to give back to the communities and
rebuild the communities in which we do business,” says Tabourne. “Even
though we’re a large company, we still consider ourselves a small-time
business, allowing us an opportunity to partner with our communities.” -jason thompson
