leadership roles across the organization and creating a more balanced

and inclusive workplace for all our employees. This year, our

and how to overcome biases to grow professionally.”

the inside out, by giving voice to our people, valuing their opinions, and

empowering them to be themselves and bring their whole self to

work. Today, on International Women’s Day, we advocate for gender

equality and celebrate female accomplishments, but we know there is

still much to be done. As a company, we are dedicated

to closing the gap between men and women in the workplace, and we

also want to be a positive catalyst for change in the communities where we live

and work. We are on a journey, but I’m

confident that advancements can be made if we continue to choose

to challenge impediments to progress.”
