Greetings To All! As a species, we’ve been on a wild and dangerous ride this year. With emotions running high on all fronts, we can take some solace in knowing that our species will prevail, and life will continue its journey toward the unknown future. Maintaining a positive perspective will yield copious amounts of productive energy, which will ward off any and all challenges facing our humanity. To all of this, I say onward…. PDJ has strengthened its resolve and focus to celebrate those individuals and organizations doing exceptional and innovative work in the areas of diversity, inclusion, and human equity. As a team, we enjoy this work, and in doing it, have met many interesting and dedicated individuals who are achieving hard-won and inspiring results. We applaud organizations for supporting our efforts to offer them our congratulations and a crystal award in recognition of each individual’s performance and achievement. As we wrap up 2020 and look forward to a new year, we wish to thank all who have participated in our quarterly award issues. We are honored and privileged to share with the world those individuals and organizations leading the way to a more equitable and productive workforce environment for everyone. See you all in 2021!
