This summer, Krissi participated in an insightful panel discussion on Workforce and Board Diversity standards - part of the CRE (Corporate Racial Equity) Alliance Standards 💬 The conversation focused on the importance of representation in businesses and the group shared best practices for improving workforce retention and well-being. A key takeaway: the value of having boards that reflect their communities and the need for strong communication between employees and board members. We're proud to see Krissi and #LINC contributing to such vital discussions. This is a clear demonstration of our commitment to diversity and inclusion - a value we continue to champion. #getLINCd . . . PolicyLink, FSG, JUST Capital

How are organizations in the Lehigh Valley responding to anti-DEI sentiment and calls for divestment in this work? Earlier this month, #LINC brought together two dozen of the region's top CEOs to tackle this issue head-on. This is what we heard: ✔️ Reaffirmation of commitment to the values of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging in the workplace. ✔️ The power of listening and storytelling to understand the different perspectives of team members and the needs of your workforce. ✔️ Mission-driven leadership: When in doubt, let the mission and values of your organization be the guiding light to sustain a culture of inclusion and belonging. Thank you to those who joined us and a heartfelt thanks to our co-hosts, Dr. David Ruth, President of Northampton Community College, and Martin K. Till, President and CEO of HNL Lab Medicine. Your leadership demonstrates the commitment needed to foster an inclusive #LehighValley. Get in on the conversation. LINC will host our next CEO Breakfast Forum on December 10th. Contact LINC to be sure your CEO gets the invite ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wLP8q #getLINCd
