What I love most about D&I is having opportunities to share my true self and connect with my peers on a human level. The discussions and shared experiences, led by D&I and the ERGs, have helped me cultivate relationships that are helping me grow in the business and beyond.

This journey means that we can continue to build on the diverse group we have here in Augusta, but moreover for me it means learning from all of our employees. Those things that are important, dates that are important, experiences that matter.

What excites me the most about the diversity and inclusion journey, is the journey itself. We can change the way we recruit. We can change the way we approach diversity and inclusion. We can change the culture.
