WHAT SUBCOMMITTEE DO YOU PARTICIPATE IN?
Community Outreach & Engagement
WHAT DO YOU PERSONALLY AND COLLECTIVELY WANT TO ACCOMPLISH WITH OUR DE&I COUNCIL?
Personally, I like to remind myself of a Mother Teresa quote- “Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.” As a group, establishing diverse, equal and inclusive practices are not only important for our teams, but creating an inclusive workplace can improve employee retention, talent recruitment and innovation.
WHY DID YOU JOIN THE COUNCIL?
To bring awareness to local volunteer opportunities! Community outreach programs are crucial to provide support to non-profit organizations, raise social awareness on sensitive matters and become a means of providing new, innovative solutions. Volunteers who simply donate their time and energy, are the lifeblood to any of these organizations.
