Diversity and Inclusion Committee

“Diversity and inclusion are two interconnected concepts—but they are far from interchangeable. Diversity is about representation or the make-up of an entity. Inclusion is about how well the contributions, presence, and perspectives of different groups of people are valued and integrated into an environment.”
-Matt Bush, Culture Coaching Lead at Great Place to Work
