Spotlight Interviews
Q & A with Our Advisory Board Member Anna Koj
“Inclusion and diversity is about respecting these differences, adapting policies and practices to accommodate them, and enabling members of our communities to participate fully in societal/economic/cultural/political activities..”
Q & A with Our Advisory Board Member Leye Falade
“D&I means recognizing the uniqueness of every individual and their right to be accommodated within the society, but much more leveraging the power of diverse thoughts to address common issues.”
Q & A with Our Advisory Board Member Rick Zednik
“I’m constantly learning, constantly striving to improve. As I do so, I aim to positively influence the gender dynamics of organisations where I serve on boards or work on projects. This happens in formal ways like codes of conduct and intentional recruiting. But mostly it happens in informal behaviours that build a culture of what is desirable or what is unacceptable.”
Q & A with Our Advisory Board Member Rhonda A. Ocha
“Diversity and inclusion mean that I have a sense of belonging and that others feel they can be themselves. It means that my voice will be heard by others. It means that I am in a safe environment where we can have a free exchange of ideas, opinions and suggestions and that I can actively contribute to a meaningful outcome.”
Q & A with Our Advisory Board Chair Cristina Falcone
“D&I means that our employee workforce and leadership looks like the communities we operate in and that each employee can bring their authentic selves and voice to the workplace. It is creating an environment where a diverse set of input is sought and valued to address the challenges and opportunities in our business and world.”
