The 16th Annual Diversity Leader Awards
PDJ Celebrates the Creativity and Commitment of this Year’s Diversity Leader Award Recipients
Each year, as PDJ continues its tradition of honoring organizations and individual Diversity Leaders committed to advancing diversity, we are consistently impressed by their dedication and innovation.
The Diversity Leaders highlighted in the following pages are actively extending their reach, both locally and globally, to embrace a growing array of employees, vendors, clients, and communities. Diversity, inclusion, and equity serve as the cornerstone of their endeavors. For many, the pursuit of diversity holds personal significance, stemming from experiences of exclusion or neglect based on gender, ethnicity, or cultural background.
This year’s award recipients are diligently fostering connections with a broader spectrum of potential hires, engaging with women- and minority-owned vendors, contributing to their communities, and educating company leaders and hiring managers. Above all, they are nurturing workplaces where every employee is encouraged to bring their true selves to work each day.
We extend an invitation to acquaint yourself with these remarkable Diversity Leaders. Within their stories, you may uncover insights and strategies applicable to propelling your own organization forward.
