A Message from Leadership
Watching the EN interview back with Alison and I reminds me just how tough the early years of Nineteen really were, and how powerful diversity of thinking becomes when matched with real inclusion.
Alison and I are very different, and that difference has always been our greatest strength. When people feel truly included, different perspectives don't just coexist; they fuel growth.
