Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

tED magazine is the voice for the top distributors in North America. From national chains to successful independents, tED is read by the top distribution companies in the industry and is known for addressing the tough issues within the channel.

In an industry that has long been dominated by white males, the issue of implementing DEI practices is a topic tED covers with regularity. While the issue in which this story appears is entirely devoted to the topic, this story is unique as it outlines how far the industry has come, but how much further it must go.

In the story freelance writer Phillip Perry speaks with Desirée Grace, a successful female in electrical distribution, about her experiences. He also interviews experts in the DEI realm and others in the electrical channel to gain a comprehensive picture of the industry.

Important points addressed in the article include:
1. Why is it important for the electrical distribution industry to take steps to enhance DEI practices.
2. Steps businesses have taken in this area.
3. How the electrical distribution industry can do a better job in this area.
4. What younger workers want/expect when it comes to DEI practices.
