I would like to invite you all to our 3rd Diversity and Allyship week early February (February 3-7, 2025). This week provides us all an important opportunity to recognize the value of inclusive perspectives and the role each of us plays in fostering a welcoming environment. It’s a time to get together, celebrate, and increase our awareness on how we can build stronger connections with one another and support those who face challenges or barriers.
