Testimonials

Robert C. Pohlad Robert C. Pohlad Chairman & CEO
"Diversity is everything that makes us who we are. It's our personalities, our lifestyles and thought processes, our work experiences, our ethnicity, race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, age, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other difference. This is what makes us unique and what provides unique insight."
Richard Wilson Richard Wilson President & General Manager, Ardea Beverages
"Most people don't think of inclusion when they hear diversity. Inclusion is how to make everybody in the company feel more empowered as part of the process, of growing the business and growing the business through a diverse population."
Anne Sample Anne Sample Executive Vice President, Human Resources
"Diversity of representation will take time but inclusion can start today. We all can make this a more inclusive place. Each of us can make sure every person that works here feels valued. It takes effort to make time for everyone, but it's worth it."
Manuel San Miguel Manuel San Miguel Vice President, Corporate Planning
"From all the best-practice visits we did to other companies that are now industry leaders in diversity, we learned the biggest hurdle is time. Every organization said the same thing, 'This is a long-term goal. Don't set unrealistic targets and get frustrated with the process and allow that to sidetrack you.' This is a marathon, not a sprint."
