Key Statements

"For a number of years, we have been on this journey of seeking diversity, promoting inclusion, and driving accountability for our DE&I strategy. And I think the inclusion piece of that is very, very important, especially now, this awakening that I think we've all had in the last few months, the privilege that we've had all of our lives and being in Atlanta where we looked around and our leadership didn't look like our communities, we didn't have enough black leaders in senior positions."
