Culture & Diversity

Since 2001 we have been helping clients reach their diversity spend initiatives through the use of our customized financial solutions. However, our dedication to diversity didn’t start there.

African American Ownership

RCA’s promotion of diversity can be traced back 3 decades through our Co-Founder Ronald Hall, Sr. Mr. Hall was known for turning the Michigan Minority Supplier Business Development Council into one of America’s minority business development organization leaders during his tenure as President, from 1992 to October 1998. Its minority business and corporate membership more than doubled under his leadership. Shortly thereafter, Ronald joined forces with Benjamin Denno to create Renaissance Capital Alliance and certified the entity as a Minority Business Enterprise. With the help of Mr. Hall’s guiding principles, RCA has been able to build a legacy of leadership in the diversity space.

Kevin Bell, RCA’s current president, has continued to advance the line in the fight for diversity. Before joining the RCA team, he increased the diversity spend at Fiat Chrysler Automotive by $5 Billion annually. Mr. Bell now speaks at diversity events all over the country and explains why minority spend is attractive for several reasons, including increased profits. Additionally, he supports the NMSDC programs department which helps the organization pursue its diversity advancing objectives.

Latin Leadership

With the opening of our operation in Mexico, RCA is proud to have Latin leadership paving the way. The new location provides our team with the ability to be the lessor of choice for all of your North American leasing needs. We’ve partnered with locals in the area to build an infrastructure across the country. RCA understands that being a leader in the diversity space is beyond just spending money in diverse communities. We’ve partnered with locals in the area to build an infrastructure capable of servicing the entire country.

Women Who Lead

RCA is honored to support the employment and advancement of women throughout all walks of life. Our company regularly attends the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, and we are committed to the growth of our female staff. In our fight for equality, RCA is determined to build a female-friendly work environment that extends beyond the office. We strive to create a workplace that is safe and respectful for all staff regardless of gender. This accomplishment can only be realized through the vision of the powerful women within our organization. We’re also proud to work with clients who promote the success of their female staff.

Michelle Denno, one of our leading ladies, advances RCA everyday through her position as Vice President of Operations. As a rising star within the organization, Denno ensures that the distinct functions of the company work conjointly towards our common objective. Not only is Denno a source of leadership in the office, she also provides leadership in the community. The philanthropist has dedicated her free time towards the founding of the charitable organization ‘100 Millennials Who Care.’ Within the first 18 months of establishment, the organization had donated over $42,000 to six local non-profits through the power of collective giving. Denno’s example has persuaded other members of the RCA network to join the cause.

Corporate Social Responsibility

RCA’s collective passion for giving back was instilled into our organization from the beginning by Co-Founder Benjamin Denno. The company has donated time, money and labor into the community through several different charitable organizations. Some of the organizations include Grace Centers of Hope, the ‘Scare Away Hunger’ run and 100 Millennials Who Care.

Grace Centers of Hope

One of Mr. Denno’s favorite causes to support has been Grace Centers of Hope in Pontiac, Michigan. RCA has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars as well as a bus to the charitable foundation. The funds have been used to assist in building better lives for single parents throughout southeast Michigan. When Grace Centers of Hope was looking to transform into the new William A. Davis Women & Children’s Center, it was RCA who headed up the Capital Committee in helping raise over $4 million towards the Center’s goal.

'Scare Away Hunger' Run

‘Scare Away Hunger’ Run

The “Scare Away Hunger” run is a 5k run and family event which RCA has been a title sponsor for. The proceeds for this event benefit the Neighborhood House which provides food, clothing and emergency financial assistance to neighbors in need from Rochester, Rochester Hills, Auburn Hills, Oakland Township and Addison Township. The run has raised 6 figures in donations since its founding in 2011.
