Jil Littlejohn Bostick is the vice president of corporate responsibility and inclusion, as well as executive director of the Winnebago Industries Foundation. She spearheads initiatives like the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Action (IDEA) Speaker Series, which engages subject matter experts to share behaviors and actions of inclusive leadership. The speaker series encompasses education to advance gender and lifestyle equality in the RV and marine manufacturing industries. Jil and her team also focuses on diversifying the talent pipeline through partnerships like their multi-year partnership with Camber Outdoors and bringing more people to the outdoors with Melanated Campout.
To ensure the organization supports a growing diverse customer base, Jil developed and launched the “All In, Outdoors” strategy, a roadmap for creating a sense of belonging in the workplace and communities. She develops partnerships with organizations led by people historically excluded from organized outdoor activities, such as the National African American RV Association. Jil inspires a culture of volunteering, giving, and community engagement across the Winnebago Industries organization and depends on her courage, compassion, and ability to step outside the box to engage people. She is recognized for her ability to really listen to and work with all people who are trying to accept a diversity focus and establish diversity goals.
