The 3rd Annual
Native American/Indigenous Leadership Awards
PDJ Salutes a New Class of Native American/ Indigenous Leadership Award Winners
For more than two decades, Profiles in Diversity Journal® has honored outstanding individuals who have forged new paths. These individuals have overcome challenges, mentored others, advanced diversity and inclusion in the workplace and the community, and excelled in their chosen professions. PDJ is again honoring Native American/Indigenous leaders with our third annual Native American/ Indigenous Leadership Awards.
The profiles that appear in this issue recognize and celebrate the talents, hard work, and impressive achievements of the Native American/Indigenous Leaders we honor on the following pages. Each award recipient provided us with answers to some interesting questions, along with an essay, that will give you, our readers, a chance to better know these multitalented and trailblazing individuals.
Welcome to PDJ’s third Native American/Indigenous Leadership Awards.
