Message from the President

Even before the disruptive events of 2020 and early 2021-a global pandemic, a racial reckoning, economic uncertainty and the most divisive political climate in living memory-we had a larger, more encompassing problem. Activities that create new communities and bonding opportunities across the organization can pay major dividends. Successfully building up our collective empathy muscle means we aren't as reliant on regulation and legislation to create equitable playing fields within our companies. Because nearly all discrimination-racism, sexism, ageism, etc.-stems from a lack of empathy.
